Things To Do list: Growing shorter!
I've been working steadily through the day to get my list of fixes/downloads on the new computer done. Many things have been crossed off, but two of the largest things have not been (and one won't be anytime soon).
1) Font size. It's tiny. Size 8-ish on my desktop, maybe 6 or so in Firefox. Trying to adjust the font size for the whole machine does nothing. Changing the font size in Firefox sometimes works, but then only on some pages (like, not LJ at all). I cannot read LJ in size 6 font, so I've been doing the ctrl+mouse wheel to make it larger... but I do not want to spend the rest of my time on this machine having to do that for every web page I look at (the change doesn't follow across pages). ((Edit: I may have gotten the font issue in Firefox settled, woo. I can deal with the rest of the computer having small text, since I don't spend all that much time looking at it.))
2) AIM will not minimize to the tray, it stays on the task bar. I've spent quite a bit of time googling about this, but there seems to be no answer/needs an upgrade from AOL to make it work better with 7.
I sort of like the.... windows preview thing? Where you hover over something on the taskbar and you can see the window. It's nice that it's real time, not a snapshot (I can see what's going on in WoW without actually switching).
WoW's really, really nice on this machine. I can run through Dal perfectly, zero lag. Sometimes it takes a PC a moment to load (I can see the shadow but no person), but that's semi-rare and I get no lag in moving at all. Graphics look better, too!
