Hi,
As for the moment I don't have a monitor attached to my htpc, I'm using the TV as a monitor. For that to work, I increased the windows font size. However, now some gbpvr things (via both the pvr tv-out and the video card tv-out) use the larger font, some others don't. For instance the top buttons on the main menu are still the way they used to be, the lower ones (from plugins and custom tasks) use the larger fonts. Also the OSD and the recordings sub-menu use the larger font. This makes it better to read, however no two lines fit in the box for one recording. Also on the OSD the time display is out of alignment.
I must say the larger fonts increase readability, but the way it looks now is less apealing.
I use the red-sky skin and like it VERY much. I changed two things:
1. Decrease the vertical button spacing from 40 to 35 to accomodate more buttons.
2. Change the redish font color into grey. Red font on red background was sometimes hard to read.
BTW my eyes are in excellent order ;-)
