I'd like the option to make av names/object descriptions/hover text/land info/edit/script window/inventory text larger, like twice the current size. I use a 57" HDTV as my monitor, at a decent resolution, and I have trouble seeing some of this info. The trade-off is worth it, but a major strain on my eyes.

While on the subject of text, I'd also like chat text to be dynamically colored... I realize the color is selectable, however has anyone found a text color that is readable over all textures? White is nearly invisible over concrete or gray textures and black isn't so easy to read over darker textures. I constantly manipulate the camera - or turn away from people while chatting - to position chat text over darker textures (my current setting is white.)

since we can change our chat color already, what do you mean by dynamically colored? like it changes automatically depending on the color you're looking at? sounds unlikely. have you tried a tone of red? not many red floors in sl.

I think he means he wants our chat text window to automatically select the most appropriate color to offset the background it's on.

I say we just need slightly larger shadows behind the letters. Very simple fix.
