thanks for the welcome 

so learned something above:
left-shift+click = take 1 of stack
leftt-ctrl+click = take full stack
and doing the latter on stack in container spreads the contents out

    that lowers the number of clicks needed immensly,      
thanks for pointing me to that bit of wisdom Noronel

Now if we could only get an "alt+click = take amount as last time of stack" we'd be set completely

Are you aware of the /study command? The text is much easier to read and even a search function is included.

I wasn't ....  that's definately a much, much better interface for reading the books

Was looking for that too, and I found it:
- go to the data\gui subdirectory of your planeshift install
- in there you will find xml files with the layout of the various interface parts
- font-sizes are mostly in styles.xml
- you'll need to adapt the other xml's to cope with the increased font-sizes (as the layouts don't auto-adapt to different sizes, in css terms they're sized in px instead of em)

-> it's possible, but it is a a lot of work
