Adjusting Internet Options

You can specify the font sizes, styles, and colors, and foreground and background colors of Web pages displayed on your computer screen, even if the author of the Web page has already specified these. You can also specify the color used to indicate links in Web pages, or a special color for links that is used only when the mouse passes over the link.

These customizations are useful if you have low vision, need larger fonts, or need high-contrast colors. You can set Internet Explorer to use the colors and fonts you specify, the default Windows colors and fonts, or the settings you specify in your own style sheet.

You can also choose other options affecting the display of Web pages on your screen. All of these options are accessed through Internet Options in Control Panel.
