Hmm. This started with color shemes? What module is that? I need to look
into it.

you are right everything is based on the one font size. I need to work on
this. The advantage is not giving the user so many controls that they get
lost in the mess of font sizes for this and that. If everything is
porportional to the main text size things seem to look ok. Except when using
smaller text sizes. I may make 8 or 10 the smallest text size you can
choose.

These are mixed up with verse numbers. I need to seperate each module type
still in that area

No problem. I would rather get one email from you and others here and try to
resolve those issues rather than a hundred from those outside this list with
the same complaints. Thanks for the feedback. It looks like I have a lot of
little things to do still.

Thank You
