Glo Another "is it normal" question...

CatherineStewart · 10-10-2012, 11:30 PM

Is it normal to see some text fading? Some parts of some letters at times can seem darker. It seems random and disappears after a page refresh. But every page seems to have atleast a few words that have some random light and darkness to it. Hope that makes sense?

That sounds like expected behaviour to me. If the page refresh is not 1, then the screen isn't completely redrawn each time a page is displayed. So, the text appearance depends in part on what was displayed in the same spot on the previous page.

As an experiment, set the refresh to every page. I don't think that you will see what you are describing. Or if you do, it is coded in the book to display that way.

Ok I will try the refresh for every page and report back.

The refresh for every page seems to do the trick. Thanks.
