Andrew,
Try setting the 40 point headline to some font you expect to be on every
Windows machine like Arial instead of the system font to get a better
look.
#if TargetWin32
StaticTextControlName.TextFont = "Arial"
#endif
The reason I was interested in your project is because I work as an R&D
Engineer at Jostens. I find it interesting what you are doing. I would
love it if you would send me a compiled sample of the finished project
minus most of the data with maybe only a couple of images to show the
functionality. (Maybe I can prove to our marketing department that
students are smarter than they think as we engineers keep telling them.)
One thought I had that you might like to try is something we do with
our online content creation tools. You might want to animate going from
image-to-image like turning pages in a book.
Good luck with your project. What you are doing is impressive.
Tom Dixon
