Eyestrain using rev.
Posted: Wed Nov 07, 2007 8:49 pm
I think Rev is a brilliant development app and I like working with it, but I am getting eyestrain when I use this app for more than an hour or so on LCD monitors.
I don't have this problem with any other applications I use, because their menus pick up display settings from the OS (Windows XP); increasing UI fonts by a couple points makes a big difference to readability.
Running Rev on an older 17" CRT screen set at 800x600 or 1024x768, the UI fonts are much easier to read compared with 1280x1024 on modern 19" LCD screens. Unfortunately, setting the widescreen LCD screens to a lower resolution tends to change the aspect ratio as well as blurring the fonts.
I wouldn't mind but it gets disturbing when you look at an oval and know it's a circle
It would probably be an improvement if the menubar followed convention and it could be resized to the width of the screen instead of being fixed at 800 pixels wide.
cheers
