can you set a default text zoom? also is there a way to make everything smaller on the screen so more can fit on a page and you have to scroll less, like on macbooks? i have windows and i hate scrolling a lot. i have made the normal font as small as possible that i can still read it. like is there a way to restore down so that everything WITHIN the window gets smaller, instead of making the window ITSELF smaller, causing more scrolling? like on macbooks, for example, if you adjust the size of a window, it always fills up the window (e.g., microsoft word document) lengthwise so you never have to scroll left / right. can you do that on other computers besides macbooks? i have a dell laptop. thank you! ps -- this is for you, theymos, if you see this!
Not system-wide. It's a per-application thing. For firefox, you can use the No Squint extension to make everything smaller (change the default primary zoom level to something under 100%): [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
For IE, go to tools -> internet options -> advanced -> accessibility -> uncheck "reset zoom level to 100%..." Then change the zoom level in page -> zoom.
