Tomorrow I’ll hear from two dozen of you that none of this cool CSS renders on your Netscape 4.x browsers. A bas le Netscape 4! We’ve been here before. [12:25 AM]
I like the new look, but can we have biggerafonts, pretty please? It's practicallyaillegible.
I've been fiddling with the CSS stylesheet all evening. My tentative design philosophy (here we see the full modern degradation of the word "philosophy," as in "philosophy of football") is based on the idea that most browsers are better at letting users increase the displayed font size than at letting them decrease them. How's the current state of affairs? How is it if you set your display at 120%?
The default makes everything small enough that it's quite painful to read on my screen. At 120%, the text is readable, barely, but the quotes aren't. There isn't any text zoom control on the comments popup, so there I'm stuck with illegible.aaHmm, you're using pixel sizes. 10px on my screen is minuscule. 10pt, on the other hand, is fine. Can you try using point sizes throughout?
Unfortunately, the browser producers have managed to make point sizes effectively unusable, because they come out much smaller on most Mac browsers than they do on PC browsers.
Re: text controls on popup windows. (Warning: uninformed person asking obvious question.)aaWould it help, as a stopgap measure, if the comments were a new browser window, not a Javascript popup?
I have no idea. I'm just using Moveable Type the way it's set up out of the box. Hey, the bullets go in this end, right? Is this the part you're supposed to pull on?
I've increased the size of the body type by just a bit. Zack, does that help any?
Yes, it's all nice and readable now. Thank you.
