Increase the distance between the screen and your eyes. HHOS. Something which I've long thought should be done but which no mainstream OS GUI I've seen does well is increasing screen resolution to increase quality of rendering while keeping the human information density per inch around the same. Practial upshot: Fonts and window trim and the like rendered at a high DPI to improve their legiability, while keeping text and widget sizes big for the many people who have poorer eyesight. I know plenty of people who can't make out anything at a resolution much higher than 1024x768. We've got these huge LCD panels and tons of graphics horsepower being used for word processing and spreadsheets; it'd be nice to put that to use making things easier to read. (I run my LCDs at their highest resolution and a small font size; I'm not one of those people. But I sympathize with their plight.) -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
