Website Complaints!
Simon Brown • January 11, 2020
Font Size and Colour
So, the new website was launched two days ago and some viewers with ageing eyes complained about the text font - just not enough contrast. I find that I use the Chrome and Edge browsers with a default 125% zoom as I'm no spring chicken!
Also, I'm just a simple programmer with absolutely no graphic design skills at all but I do know how to use Google and found ux movement's website
which has a very interesting article "Why You Should Never Use Pure Black for Text or Backgrounds". This article covers:
- Pure Black Text & Backgrounds
- High Contrast for Accessibility
- Balanced Contrast for Readability
It's well worth reading.
As a result the default font is now bigger and the colour darker.
After too much grief, I've decided to stop using Wi-Fi to connect the small NUC systems in the computer room to my network: DX Cluster (Ubuntu) SDR Server (Windows) User Forums (Windows) These servers are in constant use, causing the wireless transmitter on my TP-Link AX50 to fail. By switching over to a wired network there's less demand on the wireless transmitter and the whole network has become far more reliable. In future I will only use Wi-fi when there's no alternative. I'm keeping a spare router ready just in case the AX50 fails.
Inside All this equipment is installed in my computer room, next to the office.
