Title: Request: Change font size
Post by: opentoe on June 14, 2009, 06:26:14 am

I use a very high resolution size on my display. Most of the apps I use have the ability to change the font size from within the settings of the program. As I have already changed the font size of the operating system, some apps just don't play nice or adjust appropriately. I have very good vision, but even then I have a very hard time reading the fonts in the altbinz app. When I input search text I can't much read what I'm typing.

I've seen similar requests in the past, but no follow ups. Thanks!

For a workaround you could try to set your dpi-settings higher. This makes everything on your screen appearing bigger, be it text or an icon.

I use Alt.Binz under Ubuntu via wine, and have set my dpi-settings under wine to 128dpi, so I can work with it with my resolution (1680*1050).

Here's a howto for WinXP, suposing this is your OS:

Anyway, I'll +1 your request.

Although there are workarounds: I would like to change the font-size directly in Alt-Binz. I support this request.

Great program with so many fantastic possibilities and this feature is missing? No way!

I agree, I too am missing this option alot. Im using my PC as a HTPC and im pretty far away from the TV. I too need bigger fonts.
