My bad. Im science context I have always used S.I units, and wish U.S. 
would switch. Just forgot here. Multiply everything by 2.4 for cm.

Screen 43 cm wide, Left column 2.2 + 6 + 2.4, perhaps shrink to .6 + 4.8 
+ .6. Add right column with same. Comment box is 21 cm. Message boxes 
wider, could lose 2.7.
