More feedback for you. Vista Pro, IE7, 16 million colours, second monitor (1024x768). I set the font size to -2 and this is what I get:
http://bnb.bpweb.net/misc/bbc_hp.png Specific problems: 1. "Customise homepage" has gone onto two lines, not correctly aligned 2. All the colours have banded which looks nasty 3. Text on top line is corrupt; 4. In the "Science and Nature" (and News) sections, the boxes have lost alignment. 5. Loss of ClearType font rendering in places (due to effects used) 6. Icons. Since Windows 3, the "down triangle" has been used to mean "drop down menu". I know web designers HATE following UI hints that users have known for decades, but it does make it easier to use. If you could refer to: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511456.aspx http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb328626.aspx Also, why not (for Windows+IE users) use .EOT soft fonts? They are really easy to do! http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/embedding/weft3/default.htm And finally, one of the best things of the "themes" facility of iGoogle is that they change thoughout the day both the pictures and colours...
