CUSTOMIZING WINDOWS HELP README

Known bugs:
----------
One particular problem you may experience is not being
able to see hotspots on your monitor in color.  Some video
cards do not display Windows Help hotspots properly at
resolutions higher than 256 colors.  Reduce your color depth
and this should solve the problem.

Large-screen displays using higher than 1024x768 resolution
will probably encounter distortion of graphics due to the
way many of these high- resolution drivers handle bitmap
displays.

The graphics and opening screens will not display properly
on systems using CGA, EGA or large-font VGA, SVGA and XGA
systems.  This is due to the way Windows Help handles
graphics when large fonts are selected, and you will find
that 90 percent of Windows help files have the same problem.
This bug occurs on Windows 3.1/3.11 and Windows 95.  We
recommend the following as a fix:

Windows 3.1/3.11:
----------------
If your main problem is the small size of icon titles, add
the following line to your WIN.INI file under the [Desktop]
section: IconTitleSize=10 (or 12 for higher visibility; the
default is 8)

You can change this line incrementally to suit.  This should
allow you to use small fonts and have better visibility of
icon titles as well as graphical compatibility with Windows
help tools.  You can also change the font using (for
example, to use the Terminal font):

IconTitleFaceName=Terminal

Windows 95:
----------
The same applies.  It's probably the size of your Start menu
text and dialog box text that prompted you to select large
fonts.  We recommend obtaining a program called TWEAKUI.EXE,
one of the free "power tools" from Microsoft for Win95, from
Microsoft's Web site or one of several locations on the
Internet.  We are not giving the URL here since Microsoft
has a habit of changing its URLs with alarming frequency,
messing up everyone.  Instead, try a search for:

WINDOWS 95 POWERTOYS

...or...

WINDOWS 95 POWER TOYS

...using Yahoo or Webcrawler.  Many people have this utility
linked to their Web pages.

This utility may be used for fixing a lot more than just the
size of Start menu and dialog text, and if you're a heavy
Windows user you will find it very useful.
