Are you running the HDGridSkin on a 400x240 display?!? That skin is
considered to be running in full HD (1920x1080). I'd rather try the
PiGridSkin or JogglerSkin - which are designed to be used in 800x480 on
the 7" Pi or Joggler display - exactly same ratio, similar size.

Which font? All of them?
Are you familiar editing code? These skins are text files of about 3500
lines... and you'll have to find where the sizes for the various
elements are defined. It's a lot of manual work... Start by searching
for "font".

You better spend another hour or two trying to figure out whether you
can't handle this in the display control somewhere somehow. Because if
you have to adjust a skin to give room everywhere, you'll likely spend
many times more hours...

Unfortunately there's little structure in those files. It's a rather
tedious job, that's for sure.
