The text you are talking about is being anti-aliased by the same Quartz (CoreGraphics) anti-aliasing algorithm that OmniWeb uses. If you have a complaint about the quality of text anti-aliasing, you should complain to Apple. The only way to improve the quality of the text on an LCD monitor is for Apple to use sub-pixel anti-aliasing. You might also try downloading "TinkerTool" to adjust the Mac OS X text anti-aliasing settings. -Jimmy -----Original Message----- From: Steve Sell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2001 8:21 PM To: IE Mailing List Subject: Favorites Bar and LCDs -- can't something be done? I have to agree the text in the favorites bar is completely unacceptable on an LCD (specifically PB G4). With the increasing number of laptops out there (and Apple's recent move to an all-LCD lineup), can't something be done to turn off the anti-aliasing in carbon apps? I am aware of the difference between the anti-aliasing in carbon apps vs. what cocoa provides (font-smoothing? -- I always get this backward). This can easily be seen by firing up OmniWeb and looking at text that�s the same size. I know this isn't an MS specific problem, but can the anti-alias be turned off when this kind of thing happenes. Intuitively, it seems it must be because other apps do it... -Steve To unsubscribe send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To search the archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/macie-talk%40lists.boingo.com/> To unsubscribe send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To search the archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/macie-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
