You can change the way this website looks to suit your preferences. The settings that do this differ from browser to browser, but most browsers offer some or all of the following:
- Increasing the font size. If you find the size
of the text on Banlaw Systems too small you can easily adjust it by
using the font size setting in your browser. If you use Internet
Explorer 6, go to the "View" menu, select "Text Size" and then
select "Larger". If you use Internet Explorer 7 and 8 or Firefox,
you can resize text using the zoom function by pressing and holding
down "Ctrl" and "+". This will then zoom in allowing
users with low vision to see the text more clearly.
Use "Ctrl" and "-" to decrease the zoom
again.
- Adjusting text and colour changes. Some users
who rely on screen magnifiers can find white backgrounds give off a
glare. You can change both the background and the text by changing
some settings in your browsers. If you use Internet Explorer, look
in the 'Tools' menu, select "Internet Options", select "Colors" and
make changes to text and background colours in the "Colors"
panel.
