Contrast

You can change the contrast of our website page using the blue button also highlighted above.

 

Text

A lot of users prefer to view the text on websites in a larger size than normal. The Reachdeck tool can help mark the text larger. You can also use your keyboard, or keyboard and middle mouse wheel (if you have one). This method will temporarily make everything on screen larger/smaller including images.

Larger text:           [Ctrl] and [+] or [Ctrl] and mouse wheel forward.

Smaller text:         [Ctrl] and [-] or [Ctrl] and mouse wheel back.
