Windows XP users: Enhance your Windows/Web experience by enabling "ClearType" on your systems. Perfect for LCD/TFT screens, but also "quite suitable" for old CRT-monitors as well. - it's very easy to turn it on/off - allowing you to see the difference. Spot the difference in the attached image below: |

||||||||
|

XPtronic. it just blurs it? how is that the same as making it clearer? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this hurts my head how do i turn it off :( |
||||||||

windows control panel, and there's a new entry for it. |

the dictionary says that ClearType is a technology based on "operating the space between pixels".. sounds like antialias but on hardware level. i like some webfonts non-antialiased. maybe need to get used to it.. Tahoma definitely looks better for me without antialias when in small sizes, 8-10pt approx. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think the fault probably lies in this being for LCD screens while I have two CRTs... it's like anti-alias, but stronger (aka blur) on these screens, and they're even calibrated! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as the initial message tells you: it's for TFT/LCDs not actually CRTs..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love my CRT monitor. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but you said it'd work with crts too.. I must say that you were wrong there... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
crts rock! much better colours and such! only reason to use a lcd is for prolonged writing. |
||||||||
|
|

you don't have to download anything to get clear type do you? just go to display properties -> appearance -> effects, enable clear type. old trick. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hang on ? Hasn't ClearType been a preset in display properties on XP since SP2... |
||||||||

I hate cleartype with a passion that is very very nearly holy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not really, but usually preset on laptops... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, but the tool allows you to tweak the settings to fit your screen... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah, gotcha. So this it like ClearType version 2 sortof ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's getting more and more common and the "web 2.0" encourages you to enable ClearType. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
should i tag this thread congs now? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're the congs tagger? if you feel like just go for it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i played it safe and went for bongs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn. so that's the new standard to which everybody must stick up to even if they don't want. as WinXP is. i'm still on W2K and don't want to switch since everything works fine for me. Except some progs which want to persuade me to install winXP, but they won't own me so fast )) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no worries... noone forces you to use ClearType... it's just a feature to enhance typefaces... as for your w2k-box.... you should really consider upgrade to wxp.... solves a few secutiry-issues and it's a lot more supported re:patches, servicepacks and so on - but that's my opinion. :) fyi: many of us will take the step to windows vista later on this year.... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah.. there's that Vista coming soon, indeed ) So i'll skip the XP |
||||||||

Ah shit I liked it better before : \ It looks all fuzzy like a nintendo 64 meng Proximate mines only, 15 frags,Facility ! |

I had to get used to Clear Type. It made htings blurry initially but then I used that tool Phob linked before. Just need setting up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have always had clear type on my computer. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
"Proximate mines only, 15 frags,Facility !" > i'd be game, had you proposed this some years ago... sounds like good memories : ) but now that i'm used to timesplitters, unreal tournament etc, goldeneye seems almost unplayable to me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what tool? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
check out the initial message by myself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
WOW, a download from microsoft that doesn't require a Windows Installation Validity Test (or whatever it's called). Not that mine fails... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone noticed that IE7 displays webpages in cleartype even if u have it turned off? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You have to diable it thru Tools -> Internet options -> Advanced (untick the ClearType setting) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"disable" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks! wonder if it will be on by default when it ships? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my guess: yes |
