LargeType ReviewPerfect for laptops - Version: 1.0, 11/24/2005 05:38PM PST

Very useful for phone numbers and similar small items that the zoom feature in Universal Access won't target effectively. Kinda cool-looking---see screenshot.

Maybe could have a one-sentence ReadMe that gives the above Installation Note.

LargeType CommentaryGood start - Version: 1.0, 9/21/2005 07:02AM PST

I was thrilled with the concept of LargeType. It works great on a couple of words or a short phrase. However if you select a large portion of text LargeType may actually display the text at a smaller size than the original.

I think it could be much improved if it could be coded to automatically break lines so as to achieve the greatest vertical height (while still respecting paragraph breaks) rather than attempting to respect the width of the selection. In the current version, if you select a paragraph it will be displayed at a size that will fit the entire 'graph in a single line.

Should this be worked out, this could be a boon for those of us visiting sites with text/background combinations that are illegible. Highlight a 'graph and see it in glorious white on black!

I'll give it 5 stars when the author goes for height over width.
