andsome Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I have my monitor set to suit all my applications etc except for this forum. On here the type is rather pale from me. Can I set the default appearance of the print for when I open other peoples threads? I know I can set how my print appears, it is print in general that I would like darker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 It is pale andsome - my old eyes could do with it much darker. I guess its a setting in the software only admin can change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Any better? You'll have to post images of the specific areas you're having trouble with. I have perfect 12.5/13.6666 vision p.s I've bumped up the font size just a tad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully andsome, AlanHo and the rest of our members will find it an improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted September 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Testing testing testing. This is typing slightly darker than before. I will see what is is like after posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be where most problems occur, in a quote. The smilie is perfect, it is the typing, maybe I need a new ink ribbon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Here is a snip of how your post (including the quote) looks on my PC ... I have not made any changes to it at all. Both the quote and post fonts look very close in depth of colour to me. Does your screen version look anything like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Here is the snip done before I posted the above, so that you can see how it was for me before pressing 'Submit'. It would be interesting to hear other opinions on the issue. In the meantime, I have marked the thread as 'Resolved' because I believe that Chris has made the necessary changes required.

catgate Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 I usually look down and there it is. Granted it not like that all the time. Some times we both have to look for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Are you looking down because you are texting - which is a bit beyond the pale. So far as the forum text is concerned I can read it - but it would be nice if the font size was larger and the text colour darker. It's no big deal though - I can continue to struggle without making an issue of it in the best interests of the majority. I am reluctant to have a groan in writing. Andsome's like me - getting on a bit and eyesight aint what it used to be. Sometimes, first thing in the morning, I highlight the text in a post and read it easily against the blue background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted October 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 It's better but could still be more contrasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
