Sure.

My default browser font is set to 'large' - this rendered dark minimalist theme comfortably in the past (strangely, minimalist light always rendered the font larger than other web pages).

Now the font is just...too large to read comfortably.

In addition, the background block in which quoted text appears is now a very *dark* grey against which black font is difficult to make out (not sure what colour it was before - but my overwhelming impression now is that I struggle to read the quoted text).

*edit* t.m.o is bookmarked to take me to the initial 'menu' page - from here New (posts) was the second link from the left, top, and took me straight to the list of new posts.

Now clicking New takes me to a page saying 'there have been no new posts here for the past thirty days' - I click on Menu again, then a white window opens within which a valid New link appears.

The old minimalist dark did such a good job of maximising the amount of text presented per page, in a clean, efficient and legible way.

Hmm. I'm not actually sure that the new menu does save space, although I can't quite remember how it was before, i think all the options were in a single line. Now, when I want to look for new posts, I have to mash on the menu link, then select New, whereas before, I only had to mash the New link.

Edit: I've just tried Minimalist Black in Firefox on my Mac, and I reckon you could read the text from the moon

Font size really comes down to taste, I keep my N900 set to Normal font size. That is why I doesn't look nearly as big as it does to you.

Sure, but (for me) setting browser font to normal renders the new look t.m.o functional, and turns the font on every other web page into a Lilliputian haze (and I don't have old eyes !)

Not being a themer myself, I don't understand why the font size on t.m.o renders differently to seemingly all other sites.

their are other site tha are designed for mobile phones that render bad with font size set to large on browser aswell. Because many mobile sites have larger fonts to make them easier to read on small screens. I have removed all font code from css of mobile site now if you set your font size to normal it wiil be normal if you set it to large it will be large. Also fixed a few bugs and changed few things on menu. Moved menu saved 3 to 4 vertical line spaces and allowed me to add more then 3 options to the menu. You save so much because I also moved private messages into menu.

I think the light them is ok.. I'd increase the spacing in the Menu popup however, I've already hit the Mark Read by accident once, really peed me off As well, there doesn't seem to be any way to close the Menu popup other than selecting something. Any way to have a close-window button?

Oh & fixing the jump to last read post bug would be REALLY great

Got to play with menu a little more and I added hide menu button. I hate to say but jump to last read is dead end for me. If anyone wants to look at code ill mail it to them but I just have to give up on it we will have to make due with it jumping just to the page the last post is on.

Edit: I will tell you what once I get everything else done I will try to revert that file in the theme back to the original before I played with it and then work that file the bad thing is that is one of the bigger files and will take a while to fix so I'm not saying I give up for ever just on a back burner.
