Steve, I appreciate your comments but you are really late to this party.
The ASCII slim theme was finished in December and the layout and font
sizing are identical to the one in Jessie which is about a year ago. The
slim panel has also been posted to this list maybe a dozen times in the
last year. So the Jessie and ASCII ship have sailed. I'll have a look
at enlarging the font when I start on Beowulf but there will be no fussy
buttons (for both technical and aesthetic reasons).
