Most of you, maybe all, might have noticed that I have increased the default font size in SL. Please let me know if it breaks anything :).

On the navigation bar for hyper drive, you might need to put in a return. Some of the navigation boxes need to be enlarged to accomidate the larger font.
I reduced down to 100%, this may be to large a jump for some screens, unless the user knows how to adjust zoom on the browser.

I guess having a 32" monitor has its advantages... It looks the same from here.

The market screen needs some formating work the most! You can not put a price on hydrogen or any thing from there on down.

I agree that it might take some getting used to, for me as well. The main reason was a comment by Prof some years ago, where he said much the same as Tom Bomadial above - it's hard for him to read at 10px. I wanted to see what would break, how hard it would be to fix - I wanted to work on SL last night, and the two things rather came together.

I also skimmed over some of the cases - most aren't low hanging fruit that I might want to do immediately, but I fixed a few other bugs caused by the font increase, and got rid of the annoying "+-" resource update amount.

Many (most?) of my ideas are related to the backend - support and stabilizing it, for ease of maintenance (been working on that for years). There will be changes though, bug fixes that are now normal features - I've fixed so many of those over the years... :).

I recognize and appreciate the investment that we have placed into this game, and understand the upheaval that would be caused by even the smallest changes. But to me, SkyLords is not done, not complete, and for certain not free of obvious and low hanging bugs.

If we can treat our more dignified members (agewise) as also having an equal say, I think that many of us would find that the font size has been one of our longest standing bugs. Besides, it's not entirely altruistic :D. It's gotten harder for me to read as well :S.
