I cannot figure out how to make the text larger in a received email. The finger method doesn't work and I can find no tool bar as I can for composing emails. I can find nothing in settings. Please help and thank you in advance.

Hi there,
Download a piece of software called TinkerTool - that might just solve your problem. I have used it myself to change the system fonts on my iMac. It is software and not an app.
Good wishes,

Changing the DPI to 120 won't affect the font size of the menu bar in the Editor. See this FAQ for what happens when you change the DPI:

You really can't, OS X doesn't have the ability like on Windows to adjust the user interface slightly to accommodate hard of seeing users.
In fact squinting at the small stuff on Mac's is actually going to hurt your eyesight in the long term.
All one can do is reduce the resolution a little, but it creates blurry text as the pixesl don't match the content.
Another method is to use Firefox + addons of NoSquint and Theme & Font Size Changer, which for the browser you can set minimal zoom levels and menu bar font sizes, while customizing the browser.
You can also get a scroll wheel mouse, then in System Preferences > Universal Access, set a Control key, that way you hold that key down and then use the mouse pointer and scroll wheel to zoom in and out of areas on the screen.

How do you make the toolbar larger, mac desktop?

Can anyone tell me how to make my toolbar, at the top of the display, larger? it is very tiny. I'm visually impaired. there doesn't seem to be any accessability program on the mac. I'm used to a full accessability program on windows can anyone help me reprogram the display. meaning specifically the font. we did it before on our ancient mac.. thanks for your help.

You would have to lower the display resolution to increase the size of the screen menubar. Some system fonts can be changed using TinkerTool. Other tools you can use are found in the Accessibility preferences.

How to make my font thinner

I am using the "Italia" font..
just using it to create a simple logo with company name..
the font is a little chunky and want to thin it out a bit..
can anyone offer some suggestions on making the font look
thinner ...maybe
using the transform or skew or scale options..
not sure how to accomplish this..

thanks for the suggestions..
cant change the font as its the font that has been used for
our business for
far to long..
we found that there is a Bold version and a Medium version..
so we are
having our network guys look thru old backups to see if we
can find the
medium which seems to be the one we used back then..
My intentions were to make the font look skinner, i didnt
want to modify or
create a new font.. just make it appear thinner.. just like
with any image
you can mask and crop and blend and blur.. i figured that it
could be done
with type..
but thanks again.

How to make icon for a tile use the full tile square?

So when I click on the start button on the lower left, a icon doesn't take up the entire tile for one of the tiles that I created. Here's a screenshot showing you what I mean: http://i.gyazo.com/fa2e73b5ab245c81c6f07229c8ecdc2e.png

Hi KnyTonic0,
If you want to resize the title, you may try to right click on the title and select Resize. (Reference:
Start screen)
Further, if you would like to customize the title for Desktop Apps, you may take a look at the following MSDN article:
How to customize Start screen tiles for desktop apps (Windows Runtime apps)
Or you may try to ask at the developer side:

How to Make a "fonts.css" style sheet

Hi, I have a wordpress blog with a stylesheet named “style.css”. I want to change the fonts in the style sheet and so I want to create a separate style sheet named “fonts.css"
I could just duplicate the ”style.css” page and then rename it “fonts.css” but I believe I read somewhere it is better to create a new style sheet named “fonts.css” and then add my font styles to that. Doens anyone know of a tutorial or how I make the new style sheet and add my fonts?

I only typically use two stylesheets on any given site, layout.css and styles.css. One is for the overall layout/positioning info of the site and the other is the style information which would include fonts, colors, shadows, transitions, etc.
If it is better in your mind and for your workflow to create a third stylesheet just for the font values, go for it. To me, fonts are just another style element though, so they stay in my styles.css file.
There's really no right or wrong to doing it either way. Just make sure you create another link in the head section of your site to the new file if you create fonts.css.
Thanks jon,
Yes I agree, I could just change the fonts in “style.css” and then have less style sheets, but the themes developer told me to create a new style sheet named “fonts.css” only because the theme is updated regularly and uploading a new theme will write over the file named “style.css” and then your fonts will default to their original fonts.
I don't see anything wrong with that approach. Just remember that if you have both styesheets linked to the same page then the page will get it's css styles from the last linked stylesheet.
So for instance if you have:
body {
font-size: 14px ;
in the style.css
and
body {
font-size: 12px ;
in the fonts.css
and the last linked stylesheet was styles.css the page would display 14px text.
So you just need to get them in the right order IF you have more than one styleshet linked to a page.
Thanks Osgood,
Yes that was my other question. So in my uploaded CSS folder I have the original “style.css” file and now my new “fonts.css” file. “style.css” is above the “fonts.css” file and both contain the same information except the file “fonts.css’ has been changed to use different fonts.
So if I understand you correctly I need to either move the file “fonts.css" above the file “style.css” or delete “style .css” from the CSS folder so the file “fonts.css” will take precedence. Is this correct?
Also, I needed to open style.php and edit the code to include “fonts.css” which I did.
I opened "style.php" and then added the code in "red" then uploaded it to the (CSS) folder on the server.
<?php
header( "Content-type: text/css" );
$files = array();
$files[] = 'style.css';
$files[] = 'responsive.css';
$files[] = 'fonts.css';
foreach($files as $file) :
    $content = @file_get_contents( $file );
    echo minify( $content );
endforeach;
function minify( $code ) {
          $code = preg_replace( '#\s+#', ' ', $code );
          $code = preg_replace( '#/\*.*?\*/#s', '', $code );
          $code = str_replace( '; ', ';', $code );
          $code = str_replace( ': ', ':', $code );
          $code = str_replace( ' {', '{', $code );
          $code = str_replace( '{ ', '{', $code );
          $code = str_replace( ', ', ',', $code );
          $code = str_replace( '} ', '}', $code );
          $code = str_replace( ';}', '}', $code );
          return trim( $code );
?>
After doing all of this I still didn’t see any changes to my fonts so I must have done something wrong.
Any ideas?

Newsstand app how to make the print larger

Hi - I have download a magazine however how do I make the print larger. I am not finding the option.

It sounds like you'd be fine if you just separated the print function from your "Yes" button. It will require a 2nd button click from the user but that would be the only inconvenience.

How to make icon visible?

HI !
I´ve been making some icons with photoshop and icon composer, everything is fine except that I don´t know how to make the ready icon visible without third part application.
At the moment icon composer leaves the icns file icon to applications own document icon.
So:
How to change icns files so that the icon that they contain is the icon that they display?

I am at work (Windows) so I can't try this now, but, I've copied icon images between items by copy and paste. I wonder if you can, open the file, select and copy the icon image. Close the file, open the "Get Info" dialog, click the icon to select it (in the "Get Info" window) and paste.
Otherwise there is a program (freeware I think) called "Pic to Icon" that makes the files icon the same as the picture it contains. I don't know if it works for .icns file though. But, if it doesn't the work around should be pretty easy.
Good Luck!

Make icons flow around custom desktop photo?

My desktop icons cover my custom desktop picture. Is there a way to tell OS X 10.6.8 to arrange themselves around the edges of the photo?

Nope, you'll have to move them manually.
However I do have a neat AppleScript that will place the currently selected screen saver as the desktop background. (10.6. only)
Copy and paste this into AppleScript Editor and save as a application to Utilities folder, drag it's icon to the Dock, it's your click on/off switch.
tell application "System Events"
    if process "ScreenSaverEngine" exists then
        tell application "ScreenSaverEngine" to quit
    else
        do shell script "System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ScreenSav erEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background > /dev/null 2>&1 &"
    end if
end tell
