Of course, but you specifically said the font was skinny and the contrast was low - both of which can be fixed in the settings. If you don't think the font is "pretty" enough, there is no setting for that. I have a legitimate fix for your specific complain, so you either have more untold complains or you have no tried the fix.Lloyd ParsonsSandmanLloyd ParsonsSandmanLloyd ParsonsLloyd ParsonsSandman
I've said I wasn't happy with the path Apple is taking with Yosemite, And I wasn't enamored of the look and feel of iOS7 for the same reasons. Skinny font, little contrast and shades of pastel. All make It difficult on my eyes.
So, is there some reason why you're not selecting a bold font, and higher contrast in the accessability settings on your iPhone?
I played around with lots of settings. Never found a combo I liked enough on anything but the retina screen. Unfortunately the MBPr is usually connected to an external monitor.
Macbook? I was in reference to your iPhone above.
Same difference, smaller screen just exacerbates the issues.
Uh, no - you said "skinny font" and "little contrast", which can be set in the settings. I asked why those settings didn't help you. It's what they are there for, after all.
What I found is that if you go to accessibility, they are in general overkill and make things uglier. Just an opinion.
But it really doesn't matter at this point. The iPhone 5 is in Verizon's hot little hands and the HTC One is in mine!! :)
The die is cast...For the sound of it - needlessly so.
