Hi,

I've been using Galeon regularly the past two or three months and am  
quite content with it. However, there is one thing that IMHO could be  
improved.
When using Windows (very rarely, of late...but at university they  
unfortunately have that in the PC-pools), I usually use Opera. Being  
somewhat short-sighted, I've really come to appreciate the zooming  
feature there. Of course, I know that I can zoom into a page with  
Galeon as well, and I regularly do. However, Galeon's zooming feature  
is not quite as good as Opera's as it zooms only text, not the complete  
page including graphics.
This might not appear to be such a big deal -- after all, one could  
open a picture with an external viewer and zoom in there. However,  
things get complicated where tiny images are used for navigation. It  
would be just so helpful if both images and text were zoomed together,  
so I wouldn't have to basically crawl into the monitor to be able to  
decipher some inconsiderate web-master's idea of a navigation bar. :-)

I hope this feature can find its way into Galeon to make a very good  
browser just about perfect. Best regards,

Andreas
