Martin Freitag a écrit : Correct, this was one example ;-) Ah! Gotcha! But I guess I'm getting used to it as it doesn't bother me as much as it did yesterday. It's only when text is bolded (for example, new messages) that it's really obvious, with a kind of reddish halo. Altogether, depending on the fonts, it looks like text hasn't been aliased/is oversharpened or is oversmoothed. It's really strange. Thanks for your help!

I seem to recall that there was a fix for this using prefs.js or something in chrome, but can't seem to find it in my files. Anyone recall how to do this - the headers are so small on my Windows systems (Win2KPro and WinXP - default theme) that I can barely read them. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

You can try to turn it off in the OS (but many fonts will look pretty ugly then) or choose another font for things like the message display in the Seamonkey preferences, e.g. compare Courier and Courier New for the fixed width font and you'll see a huuuge difference when reading mail/newsgroup messages. regards Martin -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - http://www.gerstbach.at/2004/ascii ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

SM2.0 from Win2K to Win7
I'll be getting a new computer either today or tomorrow. While I am familiar with the profile transfer process, which I've done many times before, I've never done it on anything more exotic than going from Win2K to WinXP. So my question is, is there any specific process to use to transfer my 2.0 profile from Win2K to Win7 or is the standard cut and paste approach sufficient? Any information on this matter will be much appreciated. S. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Just to be sure I was clear, my regular CP approach is to copy whatever is below the basic profile folder, files and all, and crush it over whatever is below the basic profile folder of the second computer. So that will still work? Colour me impressed, as I would have expected to be told that the infrastructure was completely different. yay for simplicity! How about copying my whole default profile into the default profile location on the new computer *before* I installed SM on it? Would that also work? I've never tried that approach before.

As long as you are moving a SeaMonkey 2.0 profile from Win 2K to Win 7, there should be no problem with your procedure. For what its worth, here is how I go about it, which is slightly different then you may see elsewhere. Copy the profile folder from the old machine. Install SeaMonkey 2.0 on the new machine. Use the Profile Manager to create its default profile. Do not open SeaMonkey yet, just close Profile Manager once the new profile is created. With SeaMonkey closed, navigate to your new profile folder, the location of which can be found at the link I provided earlier. The new profile will be in a folder called .default. Your old profile will be .(profilename). Paste the old profile folder from the old machine in along side the newly created profile folder. The x's in the above examples are actually a random string of numbers and letters. (profilename) would the name of your profile from your old computer, which may very well be default. For the sake of this example, say the newly created profile is a1b2c3d4.default, and the profile from the old machine is 4d3c2b1a.default. Make a note of the newly created profile name. Rename this newly created profile to a1b2c3d4.defaultold. Then rename your old machine profile, 4d3c2b1a.default to a1b2c3d4.default. In short, rename the profile you are moving to the same name as the one you just created. Close out, then start SeaMonkey. You should see your moved profile with all the data you had on Win2K.
