Heeeelp!

Wesker, the new kitteh in casa de Indigo, has decided walking on the clicky thing I tap is FUN.

You can also hold down control and then scroll with your mouse to increase or decrease the font size.

And for those without a scroll wheel (any left?), hold down control and hit + or - which is easiest on the number pad (for those with desktop keyboards).
