Being totally fucking amazing is job one." As far as I can observe somebody mixed up both grammar and syntax and wrote "fucking amazing" in place of "fucked up". On my 1600x1200 screen I am getting a totally unreadable mess with a bunch of crazy hieroglyphics (icons) with absolutely undecipherable titles. Where some letters can be distinguished they are obviously doubles. What is more there is no obvious way to try to fix this mess (yes, I guessed where some purported configurations may be). When I will show something like that to my wife, which has not the best vision, to put it mildly, and finds anything on dark backgrounds unacceptable under any circumstances, I will be laughed out of town. "Default" fonts are also out of question. On the top of it my existing keyboard remapping was ignored and so far I did not find a way to remap "Ctrl" key from what it is stuck on current keyboard to a position where I _require_ it to be. Anything which does not allow that is by a definition a reject, as far as I am concerned, regardless what other redeeming features that may have. A plain show stopper. > http://cgwalters.livejournal.com/25818.html Does not tells much more although pictures are tad better than a junk on my screen. One has to wholeheartedly agree that here "Quality isn't job one". Or two, or three for that matter. Just in case somebody thinks that I am exaggerating attached is a picture with a fragment of a "new look" of my screen. Even if something could be done with a rendering if colours cannot be fixed then this is a total reject too. Michal
