pete.young Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I'm using Firefox on XP and all of a sudden all the fonts on this site are tiny. I haven't changed any browser settings and the site currently has permission to over-ride my defaults. Has anything changed? Anyone else seeing this or is it just me?

Dood Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I think its the browser that decides font sizes.. If its any consellation, Mine is ok. Can you change your 'zoom' on your browser in the same way IE does.. If you have a scroll mouse, you can hold down CTRL and scroll up and down to change your page sizes there. Kinda like a zoom thing ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have accidentally munged it whilst trying to make sense of maps.live.com in 3d. Wow, more weird windows functionality that I never even knew existed! That's actually quite useful.

Dood Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 lol! Love the replies guys.. yeh, I found that one by accident too.. StewBlack's XP rotating laptop screen fix was a cool find too! If you have an XP laptop, use CTRL+ALT and the arrow keys to flip the screen over. (if the function is enabled in the screen properties) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dood Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 ok try this... go to your mate's computer whilst he is away.. and whilst on their desktop hit the "print screen" key on the keyboard.Now, run paint and select edit > paste - yeah you know that bit..easy. Save the picture somewhere safe that you now have.Don't close paint just yet Ok here's the fun bit.. go back and cut all the icons from the desktop.. dump em somewhere hidden.. you could even delete them. Next bit... set the picture you have just saved as the desktop background. (you can do this from within paint) YOu should have a desktop that now looks exactly like it did before you started messing about.. (close paint, obviously) just watch your mate try to open his icons though.. hawww hawww hawww... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also replying with "Alt-F4" if some asks how to do something under any windows program. You can also reverse one's mouse buttons and movement and change the keyboard layout.
