Cleartype

File under “Boy is John Stupid”:

Having been a user of Windows XP Home for… the better part of a year now I am embarassed to say that I have finally gotten around to enabling Cleartext on my PC. For those of you who, like me until earlier today, had never heard of this wonderful little widget, Cleartext is the Windows XP analogue for OSX’s Quartz system.

In short, it makes text on your screen look all purty. Try it if you find yourself chained to a WinXP box.

    Now if only there was some way to add drop shadows to everything. Combine that with some perfect bevels and there you have have a text extravaganza so stunning that it would cause any bondi blue loving mac weenie to run for the hills in shame.
