Tech Tuesday - Chapter Text Controls


One of the most important aspects to our Stories software is allowing members to make the reading window fit their need for reading.  Whether that is to adjust the text size, the contrast, the indents or the width of the text window.  Here are the controls:

Text size should be obvious here.  The green highlight, as shown here, means that the current text is larger than the default text.  If you have no highlight, then you have default text size.  If you have A- highlighted, then your text size is set smaller than default.

Text Window Width is whether the entire window is filled or not.  This is mostly used on the desktop with a wide screen.  There is no need on smaller screens.

Contrast Mode shows a dark background.  This helps to save battery and your eyes on mobile devices.

I hope this blog helps you understand the power of our text controls.  You can have any combination of the controls and it is stored on your device so you just need to set it once and it'll remember.

I liked changing the window width and the contrast was interesting, easier on my eyes this morning.  The contrast could be useful when you're self-editing before you publish something.

The contrast mode is great when reading in bed with the lights off. One of my favorite features for Stories. I kinda wish we could use it with the rest of the site. LOL.

I just tried the contrast mode and loved it!  These options are great... I was previously unaware of what was possible in reading mode. Awesome. :D

I use the A+ all the time on my phone, but I never noticed there were other types of options also. I'm going to try them all out!

 

Thanks, Myr! :)

 

Happy Holidays!
