Change text/font size in chat window? Other places?

Post by Vegepygmy »

Is there a way to increase the size of text that appears in my chat window? I have bad eyes.

Perfect! Thank you!

What about notes for tokens and objects? Is there a similar control?

I've not tried this and am not at home but you could try using html <font size=> commands inside your Notes.

I guess they might work.

What OS are you using?

You can execute the Tiny L&F library directly and play around with pretty much all aspects of the look-and-feel. There are threads here that deal with it, along with some screen snapshots of just how wild you can go (!).

A quick search didn't immediately bring up the thread I was thinking of, but you should be able to just double-click on the tinylaf-*.jar file and play with the settings. Save the result as Default.theme in your user.home directory (depends on your OS).

Be careful about changing the font size for the GUI elements too much as it will break a lot of the dialog layouts and some you won't able to resize and fix.
