Is there a way in my OTP settings?
Hopefully there is and I just haven't found it.

I've done it in my browser, and it works everywhere else, but it seems this software doesn't offer the adjustment... and overrides the browser's setting.

I can kinda zoom in a little to be able to read posts, but that's about it and it's not easy.

Kindly advise. Thanks!

Only font settings I know of are browser settings and device display settings.

Thanks. I've been through the OTP display settings and no font adjustment there, but I did switch from the gunslinger orange to default blue and that seemed to help. :)

I didn't see any OTP user settings either.

Have you tried the mobile setting instead of gunslinger?

Edit- nope that didn't look bigger to me.

I've went to reading glasses.

I can still see a tipup flag halfway across a lake, but up close I'm having a hard time reading.

I run the browser at 133% zoom setting, on a 32" monitor, and rely pretty heavily on a browser extension called "Night Eye". It lets you enforce a dark theme or filtered brightness over just about any web page. Light text on a dark background is so much easier to read than black text on a spotlight white background.

I should probably add that if you aren't doing any high end gaming, these Acer 32" monitors have been rock solid at a good price point. I have three of them.

The current $160 is about where these camp out.

Yeah..I might have to figure something out. My PC broke a few months ago and I'm relegated to a little Acer tablet. I like Acer; used them since the 90s.

I need to get a couple plastic credit card size frensel lenses for the wallet too. Those work great and bigger ones you can start a fire with using sunlight

I have a bag full of destroyed/mangled/broken reading glasses. Sometimes the parts will switch out, then there is the little screws for the ear pieces.......I do those in a shoe box so I don't loose/don't get lost

On my Windows 11 -- upper right - just under the - X out - theres 3 dots -- opens a drop down window --- go to the + / - signes --- hitting the + a few times will make the given page larger --- you'll see a slide bar start to expand at the bottom ---- the whole page is larger including the fonts --- again on mind -- it will / should keep when you come back to this site --

I just went from 80% to 100 --- the font is easier to see - but sliding the bar to the right - I lose the in-house smiles - which I seldom use any way --

I went with Black with text in White. Much better for old eyes.

I can see those tipup flags at night too, but I cheat using red lights with mercury switches.:rolleyes:

Had to buy a new pair. My buddy Vic came over, needed them for some papers we were working on, and apparently left with them. Now I have a good new pair, right where they belong: next to the toilet.

They used to sell a gadget -- glue it to the seat bottom - lift the seat -- a red target shines on the water ---- would that help ?

How did you do that? Browser dark mode? And OTP let it happen?

I was afraid that you were going to ask that Mountain Girl. I was frustrated about something or other computer related one day and just started pushing buttons on this damned thing and it just ended up like this. I used to like the orange background, but I can read so much better like this. I think it was indeed the dark browser mode.

The "Night Eye" browser plugin can do it.

In case you want an option that might be a bit more flexible in their use - I wear full field of view magnifying safety glasses when working in the shop. They have held up well under long term use. They come in a variety of magnifications.
