Resolutions with different accounts

[Philippe Signoret]

Is there a way to have different resolutions for each account? For example,
my mother needs a lower resolution since she does a lot of reading on the
computer. I on the other hand, wnat a higher resolution for working with
images. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks a lot,
Philippe
