Help-doc CSS for High-Res monitors

Hey y’all –

I had a bear of a time deciding which topic to post this under – if someone feels it would be noticed more somewhere else, let me know & I’ll repost. On my 20" Apple Cinema display at the default resolution (which I like using) of 1680x1050, I find the Help documentation completely unreadable. Even with my middle-aged-lady reading glasses on!

So I finally went into the stylesheet for help & edited all point sizes up about 4 or 5 points. What a difference.

If anyone would like to use this stylesheet (this is the stylesheet.css doc included in the docs/developer_manual directory for R 2.2), help yourself to a copy at:

the above url was updated on 31 July 2006 after a directory change on the stie

I would say post this as a tip at www.servoymagazine.com.

Great tip!

Hi Ilyse,

My old man eyes thank you from the bottom of my irises !

As Robert says, send it to the magazine…

Cheers

LOL. If you can imagine, I was trying to read that Help after I’d misplaced my old-lady reading specs. It was like trying to count the hairs on a baby caterpillar as it was speeding along a tree branch.

Thanks for the suggestion, Robert & Harry, I’ve headed over to the mag & sumbitted my request for Official Authorship so I can post the tip.

I’ve redone the stylesheet replacement for Servoy Developer Help, this time using “small” “normal” “big” etc. tags instead of specific point-sizes. Am working at home for the summer and only have a Mac with high-res monitor here. It would be great if someone with a Windows box and lower-res (800x600 and/or 1024x640) monitor could test the stylesheet for me.

If you can volunteer please PM or email me.

Thanks!
