Ärende: it was set back to 960 X
================================
On or about 02-24-10 22:33, ED VANCE allegedly uttered "it was set back to 960
X" to JAMES BRADLEY:

 EV> James,

 EV> The Display settings in XP Control Panel are still set at 1280 X 1024
 EV> but every time I scoot my chair up closer to the screen to read the

 EV> problem I had in reading what was on this 19" LCD Monitors screen.

Well, there is a way to increase the font with any resolution, but it's up to
you if you want to do that, or:

 EV> Right now, at least, I am getting a little exercise scooting up and
 EV> back, aren't I?     ;-)

... Get exercise.

 JB> EV> I'm living with it set up as it is right now, and I know I can go back
 JB> EV> to the older settings I had set up myself manually whenever I want to.

Or... Return to a lower resolution.

 JB>You used to be able to save your own themes.

 EV> I have never used a windurs theme, and that is since my Win 3.1 days in
 EV> early 1994, when I got my 486 PC Compatible built for me (Feb 94).

That's not what I suggested. If you want to *start* with one of the large font
schemes, that's up to you. If you want to change the font size to the
"notification/button/whatever"  settings, you can save that as your, "My chair
wheels are wearing out the floor" scheme that has an increased font. If you
find the "i" still looks like a "l" after living with that, you can change the
font itself - or the point setting - under "My chair wheels are wearing out my
floor Mk. II". "Wash, rinse, repeat..."


 EV> Stay tuned for the later chapters in the adventures of Ed vs. LCD
 EV> display/Display settings.

Ed vs. the floor-boards by the sounds of things. <EG>
