Firstly, I have just spent 20 minutes TRYING to change the font _HER_ to 14
point *Discovery* *Bold*
I give up... :-((((((
I can read the message in the preview and main panes, but when I *Reply*
it's all thin and virtually invisible. I am sitting here with a 3x
magnifying glass trying to check this as I type...
WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO <DELETED> HARD????
(How can I fix this somebody, please!)
Anyway...<g>
Yep, done all that a thousand times...good job I make a restore point before
I start trying to *improve* things!
The Theme I am using is *WindowsXP Modified* and the *Classic* Start Menu
All fonts are 14 bold *Discovery* as far as I can recall

Not the scrollbart hough! (in my current Theme...) :-(((
Also what is your screen

see signature...
I had to set mine at 800X600 so I could see what I was

You can also change the DPI there (Settings > Advanced)
Try 125% (if you havent already)
150% is too high and mucks up too many programs, unfortunately.
Even now, I cant use some webpages because they havev't beeen written to
account for this possinilit, *Tesco.co.uk* for one example. I have to use
their (awful) *Tesco Accesss* siter to order my groceries online because the
tab I need to click on on the main site just isnt ther! It's hidden under
anther part. Grrrrrr.
> Hope this helps
It's nice not to feel so alone, I assure you!
Now I need to go and rest my eyes for an hour!
Apologies for any unnoticed errores....
