That's interesting. Anyone know if Fireworks does this?

Cheers,

Regarding the color battle on Macs and PCs, if you don't have access to a
Mac (or PC) on a regular basis you can view the approximate color
differences in photoshop. View > Proof Setup > Windows or Mac RGB. It's not
completely accurate, but it will give you a general sense.

If you don't do your initial layout in photoshop you could take a screen
shot from DW or IE or Netscape (whatever) and check it in PS.

The most common error that limits Mac usability is use of small fonts
sizes with html font styling. Many PC-based designers don't realize
very small sizes of some fonts such as Arial or Helvetica are nearly
illegible on Macs. It's safer to use primarily designed for screen
use, such as Geneva (Mac only), Verdana, etc.

It's a double-edged sword, since Mac designers often don't realize
that a text size that looks good in a Mac browser may appear 30%
larger on a PC, destroying a tight layout in the process.

Both problems have diminished somewhat since IE began setting 96 dpi
as the default resolution on the Mac version of its browser and since
more designers began using stylesheets.

Another problem which hasn't gone away is the difference in screen
gamma, which results in an image that looks good on a Mac being too
dark on a PC.

Joe Gillespie discusses these issues in great detail on www.wpdfd.com .
