Has it been decided? - Use only two or three colors for anything that's not a photo - Resolution 1280x720 - Use the same font everywhere. Liberation Sans is preferred; other sans fonts are workable. Nuno may have more to say about this. - Use the default wallpaper - should be new default wallpaper - Hinting style set to full. Even if you like big fonts, the result is much sharper if your hinting is set to full. - Use a smaller font size like 8 or 9. Small fonts have a thinner trace that makes the font thickness be exactly 1 pixel. If your font thickness is not 1, then you are in trouble. Low hinting style and large fonts make traces of about 1.3 - 1.5 thickness that result in blurry looking fonts. They are not only bad looking, they tend to produce headaches as your eyes try to constantly focus the font. - Don't use bold. Bold fonts are not as readable as normal fonts because the width of the trace is usually larger than 1 and smaller than 2 producing blurry results. - Make your fonts more greyish than blackish. Nuno "IMO much better sharpness results." _______________________________________________ This message is from the kde-promo mailing list.
