Personalize the appearance of your “portable desktop”.

Yes I have. I have used online dating sites. Very interesting in so many ways, however, I did have one major issue with these websites: they need to allow users to select their font sizes!

I was reading, yes reading, these profiles – but they were killing my eyes. I couldn’t take it for too long. The website designer(s) crammed in so much text using a small font, one that obviously made sense to him/her, but was brutal on the eyes.

Don’t force your visitors, clients or employees into your box! Give them the choice – please.

Personalizing your “portable desktop” is fast and easy:
  1. Open the Options Dialog Interface (window) by right clicking over an empty area of your portable desktop and then select properties from the context menu (see my previous post )
    ~ OR ~
    Use the View menu in the Main menu bar.
  2. If the Appearance menu item is not toggled to on, then click on it with your mouse.
  3. Press the Titles menu item to personalize the menu and window titles.
    ~ OR ~
    Press the Text menu item to personalize the default text displayed.
    ~ OR ~
    Press the Desktop menu item to personalize the desktop wallpaper and icon fonts and colors.

To change the font size:

  • Type your font size into the text box located to the right of the “Font Size” button.
    ~ OR ~
    Press the “Font Size” button and select your font size from the menu that appears.

  • Press the “Apply” button to apply these changes,
    ~ OR ~
    the “Ok” button to apply the changes and close the Options Dialog Interface.

I tried personalizing the background wallpaper. It worked like a charm :)
