Hello Martin!

Why not just start with the same settings you have in Winpoint?  But, as I
describe below, you may need to apply the same settings in each "view" window. 
 For starters, I just changed the font and size to match what I have in
Winpoint.   I haven't played with the colours.  I think that would drive me
crazy if a colour combination didn't look right.  A simple white background is
easiest on the eyes.  

I see that Apoint allows different font/view settings for each break-out
screen.  I don't necessary like the idea of completely separate windows for
each (that is, one for the AREA that you are reading, another for the actual
message you are reading, and yet another for editing the message).  But I can
appreciate the design.  It certainly takes advantage of "windows" in Windows! 
If I had a larger screen, I'd spread them apart so they don't overlap as much
as they do on my modest 1400x1050 14" screen laptop.  But, like anything else,
I can get used to it.
