Choosing fonts is as far as I'm concerned the most pre-historic part of Worker. Fortunately if you do need/want to do it, after you have done it once, there isn't much to do when it comes to resizing fonts thereafter. See this page of the Worker documentation for more on the subject of choosing sizing Worker's fonts: [http://www.boomerangsworld.de/cms/worker/documentation/features/fonts.html] | ||

I use two banks of buttons, the second bank behind the main bank of 42 buttons, carries buttons for working with many different types of file compression, plus some for audio ripping to various specific formats. You cycle to the next main button bank by hitting the bottom bar in the Worker window - it holds the date/time, free RAM, swap usage - though this is somewhat configurable too. | ||

When you see a button in a screenshot that has a "dog eared" top right corner, that means that if you use your (RMB) on it, you will have access to another button option that is hiding underneath.
