Microsoft’s ClearType Tuner PowerToy
Permalink | Comment (0)If you are running Windows XP and have an LCD monitor, you should be running Microsoft’s ClearType. Microsoft’s description of ClearType says:
With Windows XP, ClearType delivers improved font display quality over traditional forms of font smoothing or anti-aliasing. ClearType improves readability on color LCD displays with a digital interface, such as those in laptops and high-quality flat panel displays. Readability on CRT screens can also be somewhat improved.
Before, you only had the option to use the web-based ClearType tuner which required IE (since it uses ActiveX). Now you have the option to download the new ClearType Tuner PowerToy. It allows you to adjust the settings locally, and has an alternative adjustment UI in the Advanced tab.
