. . . User Notes Mkzdk is authored on Mac G3 Powerbook Screen resolution: As of 4/99 new portions of Mkzdk are authored in, and are best seen in, 1024 by 768 resolution (this is default resolution of the new Powerbooks). 800 by 600 is a second best. On many pages, underlining of hyperlinks has been suppressed in the interests of a cleaner reading experience; however links are assigned a different color and are noticeably different. One can also check a word or image for hyperlink by mouse-overing- the cursor changes over a linked object. Mouse-overing a link will by default display the link target url in the status bar at the lower left corner of your browser window ; sometimes info re the link has been substituted in the code, to enhance navigation. Monitors and Color: Monitors unfortunately give a wide range of varying colortones to the same image, particularly when a full colortone range is expressed, rather than the reduced colors used by mass traffic sites. Since 4/99 Mkzdk authoring and imaging is done using the G3 Powerbook built-in flatscreen monitor. Graphics in this site indulge in a deeper range of colortone than most web sites; the overall tone here is rgb-balanced: if your monitor shows a predominently yellowish or greenish or redish or blueish cast, you should readjust your color settings. Millions of colors is optimal. Thousands is okay on good monitors, though reduced color monitors may not give good results. Mkzdk is written for night viewing. The black backgrounds are meant to be deep inky black. Be sure you are seeing deep inky blacks on your monitor. If black areas appear charcoal gray instead, try boosting the contrast and suppressing the brightness on your monitor . Allow images to load fully into your browser's cache. Further reloads are then immediate. If your monitor is small and low-rez, you may gain viewing space by turning off the browser's icon bar et al; these functions are also available through the application menubar and mouse action. Expand your browser window to eliminate horizontal scroll bars. External links launch to the same external window; there's no need to close it when done. Use it as a reference window, switching back and forth with the main window by mouse-click. Internal links launch within the frameset, with full navigation available. Some internal files will launch to a separate window for design reasons- e.g. the prophecy pod, the muse of 4.5, the new images in Visions; again, switch back and forth with the main window by mouse-click.
