The higher you set your monitor
resolution, usually, the more screen real estate you'll
enjoy, and the better the view. Although the size
of your desktop icons may be adjusted to accommodate
your new monitor/screen display setting.
To change your monitor
display, on the Windows start menu, choose Settings.
Select Control Panel, then find and double-click on
Display.
Once you have the Display
dialog box open, click on the screen settings tab
at the top. You should now see a new set of options.
Find Screen Area with the horizontal slider bar. Slide
the slider bar back and forth to select the monitor
setting you prefer, then click on okay. Then, give
the computer time to reset your desktop.

| Fonts |

Our font properties are controlled with .css files
(Cascading style sheets) In most cases your browsers
default setting should be fine, but if the fonts appears
too big, just set it one size smaller and check to
see whether it looks better. This will make the pages
appear closer to the way we have created it. This
problem may also be solved by using a lower resolution.

Stylesheets are automatically implemented in Internet
