[WikiEN-l] editing wikipedia by thought

[Paolo Antonelli]

Dear Mr. Hoekstra,

Registered users may select "Preferences" in the top right toolbar, and then
select "Appearance" and tick off "Simple" under "Skin". The "Simple" skin is
designed for vision-impaired individuals, with its large font size and
simpler lay-out.

Yours sincerly, PaoloNapolitano
