Web browser = Mozilla Firefox

I use a laptop with a small screen to control SlimServer.  For legible text, I need to do a couple of "Ctrl+" commands in Firefox to enlarge the fonts.  When I do this, controls such as edit boxes and combo boxes for some of the skins stay at a fixed height, making the text they contain illegible when the font is very large.

The skins affected are as follows:
Bagpuss
Fishbone
Moser
NBMU
Purple

Another somewhat related issue.  For the "Dark" skin, the hover property for text is bold.  When hovering over text, turning it bold increases the width of the text.  Sometimes this results in text at the right of the frame wrapping to the next line when hovering over it.  This makes it impossible to select such an item, because it becomes a moving target.  It also causes undesirable dynamic wrapping of text in simple hover operations.  I fixed this as follows:

In slimserver.css for the "Dark" skin, changed this text:

A:hover, A.selected {
    font-weight : bold;
}

to the following:

A:hover, A.selected {
    text-decoration : underline; 
}

This should probably be the default for this skin.  With this change, the "Dark" skin works better than any others I've tried for my application of large fonts (because it's not affected by the issue above with control heights).  Without the change, it was unusable for me.

Dark skin fix is perfectly reasonable.  The other skins, not so easy from my skill level :)
