Another way to affect your web-browsing pleasure
« on: July 03, 2018, 11:35:48 AM »
Happened to visit a part of the Safari prefs that I rarely see today. I had, frankly, forgot about this part of it! Some have complained about a sites fonts/text being either too small or too large and this section might be a solution.

We all know we can 'zoom' a page in most web browsers. But, Safari has a pref that lets you specify a particular domain/website to always display at a percentage that might be better for our needs.

Simply visit a site that you often use 'zoom' and then open Safari Prefs. Go to the "Websites tab and select the "Page Zoom" item in the left-hand, "General"  column. To the right will be the domain of any currently open web sites. Select the domain/web site and the 'zoom' you'd like to always use for it. After you close this pref, Safari will remember your settings for that site.

I found this little tidbit when the forum changed to the new software. I really had a difficult time trying to read posts with the tiny font.

Nice to see Safari continually improving, even if the developers don't tell you to watch for new features.

Firefox developers are constantly including startup pop-ups that promote new features. Maybe Apple developers could try doing the same! :yes: :p

Please let us know when you have difficulties with things like text sizes. There are often changes possible for fixing that kind of problem. Of course, it would help to temporarily go back to the 100% setting before asking for a change. ;) We’re not like the majority of sites that have high-paid designers creating our pages! We like to hear from our visitors! And we can sometimes make changes, for free!!  :thumbup:

You can also try any of the number of possible Themes available in your Profile settings, look for the Look and Feel section. You can preview what the Theme looks like with a single click and use it for a while with just one more click! :yes:

Thank you!
 Ive been doing this the old fashioned way, by just hitting command+ or -, for each site which I need to change sizes on.
