Hello Everyone
The previous screenshot is method one practice onto a mini mini spinning usb drive 8G. familiarize with the method one using a live system to install vsido img, in that case the entire 8G[7.3.] 
Second trial method one onto a hdd, as suggested, using small partition for the compressed vsido archived file. started with an hdd having a vsido installation on the entire drive. made small partition. wiped vsido 2017. let remain the swap partition. unpack from small partition to vsido partition. The two trials were aimed for clean ext4 partiton,, though, to make double sure,, was added to the fsarchiver string -o overwrite and ,mkfs=ext4.  no hitches. Both times. Did that do double work? or double sure(?) sure is quiet without the -v.
Get it booted up once and update, lucky enough, upgrades grub and kernel. all set. wireless too, but it is wired.

connman gtk shows an icon top-right,but it does not need to run; the tray icon can be off.
using style garnet with the active/inactive colors reversed.

Might just be Xorg showing it's age. Or Nvidia just not showing much support for Linux. You're right, the graphics driver should pick this sort of thing up. Not sure what's up with Nvidia. Their cards do not work well in Wayland at all.

The issue I have with this outstanding is why did it happen at all? I added a new high end hdmi cable and a new high end Denon receiver and got the higher resolution, I get that but why didn't X11 and nVidia talk this out? What should have happened from a nVidia side to rewrite xorg.conf to make this good?

I did go into nvidia-settings through out all of this and didn't see anything that made a difference

This is open for discussion

Add those in to the build system. Comment them out, but put an explanation to un-comment for 4k monitors.

That link to Arch solved most of it, I seemed to have gad no dpi setting at all enabled and it wasn't until I first created a .Xresources file and ran

Xft.dpi: 144

I am still not quite there as I am not quite sure to put the following from that page.. this looks like it would directly affect the Spacefm icons which seem to be the only ones that are still tiny/miniscule

For gtk3

export GDK_SCALE=2          # UI scale
export GDK_DPI_SCALE=0.5    # text scale


There was an internal setting that changed it on Spacefm and now it seems as of the only strange one remaining is how tiny the font is in the url of sites .. The image below is scaled higher by imgur .. it is roughly 1/3 smaller than that

Sounds like a scaling problem. Fluxbox settings aren't going to effect that.

Your font sizes are ok so you don't need to adjust the the Xft.dpi: setting in .Xresources?

Looks like an internal problem with the software and displaying mini icons. Does Firefox have the same issue as Chromium?

Have a read through this thread - 4k monitor scaling. Some other links in there.
