They look ok to me... Maybe your resolution changed somehow (very unlikely...) 
I experienced similar problems with a 15 inch monitor that got a resolution 
bigger than what it could handle... But your screenshot is 1024x768 so unless 
you scaled it down, that would be my guess...

Maybe someone else has another idea?
