I've spent ages messing about with        MF> different combinations of font/colours in APoint but as yet, I        MF> haven't found a combination that suits me.              Why not just start with the same settings you have in Winpoint? But, as I       describe below, you may need to apply the same settings in each "view"       window. For starters, I just changed the font and size to match what I have       in Winpoint. I haven't played with the colours. I think that would drive me       crazy if a colour combination didn't look right. A simple white background is       easiest on the eyes.               I see that Apoint allows different font/view settings for each break-out       screen. I don't necessary like the idea of completely separate windows for       each (that is, one for the AREA that you are reading, another for the actual       message you are reading, and yet another for editing the message). But I can       appreciate the design. It certainly takes advantage of "windows" in Windows!        If I had a larger screen, I'd spread them apart so they don't overlap as much       as they do on my modest 1400x1050 14" screen laptop. But, like anything else,       I can get used to it.              ../|ug              --- APoint 1.25         * Origin: Get Apoint HERE: https://stargate.org.uk/apoint (2:221/1.59)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 123/1970 154/10 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 229/107       SEEN-BY: 229/354 426 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
