Minor update of the Typetester
Thanks to the valuable feedback on Typetester last week, some minor improvements were made. Here’s the list:
- a few spelling errors were correct (there’s a possibility there will be more of these, so let me know)
- text is now sized with ems, instead of pixels (remember that the base font size is still 10px, so 1em is 10px, 1.2em is 12px and so on)
- negative tracking down to -10px
- color picker is now more subtle and the icon for toggling it on and off was added
- various code tweaks here and there
More to come…

Indeed, this is a wonderful tool! I noticed today, however, that the CSS doesn’t seem to be loading for the application…
Thanks again!

Hi Marko,
Thanks a lot for the cool app! I intend on using this a lot in the future. I did notice today, though, that Typetester is not coming up with its CSS file. I’m sure it’ll be a quick fix! Thanks again for the great work!
Regards,
Matt

Ops… yes, CSS isn’t getting imported for some reason :(
Plus, i believe someone have already mentioned this, but i think Colourmod is a much more suitable color picker for Typetester… ;)

Regarding the CSS issue – the page has to be refreshed with Ctrl + F5.

Maybe not the appropriate place, but - great tool! (I even linked to it from the UITest.com “Specials” section.)

Wonderful tool!
Something technical – with Opera 8.5 it’s not possible to get colors through type-in.
Something for the future of this great tool? Would be nice to have the possibility to adjust the width of the columns via type-in.
cheers teebee
