Hello Bob - 

--8<--cut 

BS> Thanks - I didn't realize anyone's eye were worse than

BS> (But then I'm using a 19" monitor.) 

Guess what, my monitor is 19" too. LOL That's just how bad my
eyes really are plus I use a 1024x768 display which makes
everything just a wee bit smaller too. 

You've probably noticed that magazines use more than one column
on a page that is more-or-less an 8x10 inch piece of paper?
That is, I think, because our 'focus vision' is just one dot in
our entire field of vision and that 'dot' is a bit narrow. When
your webpage spreads across my 19" monitor at 1024 the field of
text is too wide (for me) to read comfortably. Peripheral
vision is blurred (for everyone not just me).

BS> I'm currently using 20%, IIRC. Most of the buttons come in

I was seeing 1.7k per button at 33% in PaintShop Pro v7. On the
main snippets page where each button is unique they 'come up' a
bit slowly but specifying their actual "width" and "height"
within your  tags might speed that up a bit too.

BS> It's quite useful - thanks! 

You're welcome.
