You might encounter this problem when running the Eclipse with Android application:

Before running Android application in Eclipse you can defined the screen size :) by choosing WINDOWS-PREFERENCES-ANDROID-LAUNCH and typing -scale 96dpi -dpi-device 160 and press OK

Now you are ready to run (Anroid Application) in a smaller screen :)

Gudluck.
