I checked the Wiki and got the web browser plugin to work. It's really cool! I have a few questions though.

Is it possible to make text bigger (as in Internet Explorer)? The reason I wonder is that it's near impossible to read web pages on a telly (mine anyway).

I am using the MCE remote and could only scroll pages up and down. I couldn't find any buttons to get the virtual keyboard, the back/forward buttons etc. Have I missed something or?

Thanks for a great plugin!

    I think that the problem isn't the size of the telly rather the resolution. Even with HDTV the resolution is low compared to a normal PC.

    The minimum resolution for the webbrowser was 800x600 and since the resolution of a SDTV is 720x576(480), its not sufficient to use the browser properly. Distance makes it even worse to the point that a lot of people find it unusable.

    My HDTV has a resolution of 1920x1080. This is nowhere near low compared to a normal PC, or at least not to me considering my desktop PC is run at 1280x960.

    Yes , it is possible to make the text bigger through a user style sheet.

    I have updated the wiki from the older one that had the information on how to do so.

    F9 or the context menu key will switch between the menu and the web page for the up down left and right keys.
