Have not been on this site for about a month and in the meantime, there may have been 1-2 updates to Ipad OS.

The note section seems very light to me. The texts seem smaller too. I am finding it difficult to spend too much time looking at it now. Did something change?

Nothing has changed on the site so I think it must be settings on your iPad. I found this suggestion online "open System Preferences > Accessibility > Display, enable "Increase contrast" and adjust the "Display contrast" slider." Or maybe other iPad users could weigh in on whether they have experienced this same issue and how they resolved it.

The contrast is light. The texts run long. Am I the only person with this problem? Anyone else? Not easy for aging eyes.


Here is an example I pulled from chatGpt that works well:


"The 2008 financial crisis, also known as the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), was a major


economic event that had widespread effects on the global economy. Here's an overview of


 what happened:"


this is sample of the note here I copied from EYB. The texts run long. 
"This is a basic roasted vegetable recipe, and the results are ok. My thoughts are that the vegetables mentioned do not all roast at the same rate so that some are soggy while others still crisp. I personally also think that, although I love roasted radishes, radishes require different seasoning than some of the other root vegetables. The addition of harissa and ketchup is an interesting note. The sugar in the ketchup offsets some of the heat of the harissa, and also adds sugar that will aid in caramelization. But the combination also adds moisture, which can ge difficult if some of the vegetables (such as radishes) give off significant moisture as well. This was interesting, but not enough to repeat."

I just increased contrast and turned on bold text. It changed on my keyboard but not here.

Just taken a look on my iPad (on the most recent OS version) and it seems unchanged to me.

You can also change the font size and contrast using our accessibility tool. This is the green circular logo appearing at bottom left. If you don't see the icon that is because you have hidden it in the past. You can get it back by clicking CTRL U on a laptop or COMMAND U on a Mac/iPad.

Are you seeing the long texts on notes in EYB?

Rinshin, everything looks completely normal.  It's a shame we can't post screenshots as that would help me to understand what you are seeing when you say the text is running long.  Even the example you've pasted into your post looks completely normal on my screen!

Rinshin, as no other members using an iPad have reported issues with Notes - either light text or text not wrapping - that does suggest there is something in your settings that is causing the change. Did you try looking at the Display settings in Accessibility as I suggested a couple of days ago? What happens if you increase the font size?

Thanks for looking. Since others are not reporting issues, it must be my aging eyes.
