XP here when I right click an empty area of the menu bar, the popup has an option to customize the command bar/add remove components. One of the options then is Size.. If I add that then I can choose text size and it sticks even after reboots.

I have the same version but couldn't reproduce the result you have seen. Can you walk us through each step you do, starting with which page layout you use?

Bob, When on the web surfing I like to sit back from the monitor with my feet up on the corner of the computer desk and the keyboard in my lap. I have my FF display set at Franklin Gothic Medium 20. It works much better than the default. DA

Hi, Genes. I'm afraid I'm not following you. I use Gmail - and don't use an email client. So I'm talking about the single lines in the inbox that state the sender, subject and time. The subject and sender used to appear in bold for unread emails. Now the unread emails are not in bold - and are not visually distinct from the read emails. I get many, many emails a day (listservs etc), so quickly being able to scan my inbox for the new emails is important. I have literally spent a couple of hours searching the net - and gmail forums for solutions. All I find is a lot of mentions of the problems when gmail gets updated - and those complaints are from various times in the past year. But no solutions (except a couple of suggestions for adding the stylish add-on to regain contrast). I did the firefox stylish add-on but it didn't do anything. This problem seems like something gmail would have fixed or allowed to be altered in settings. But I've poured through settings and can't restore the contrast. Thanks. Lynn.
