If you're really interested in this subject, I suggest a thorough perusal
of the cygwin-apps and cygwin mail archives (the former has the most
pertinent content).  All this has been discussed, in detail, there.  If
there was a simple solution for this, it would be implemented already.
However, if you feel differently, feel free to make a change and submit
the patch for review.

The current size is the largest possible for low resolution screens.  That's
why the status quo is what it is.

HTH,
