    UI Font Size

    I just got a new hi-res monitor (1440x2560) and small fonts have become an issue. Does anyone know of a way to increase the size of the object-bar fonts (tables, queries, etc.)?

    not sure what you mean by object bars, but you can increase font sizes in object designers and datasheet options off file>options

    Otherwise you are down to windows display settings (right click on desktop)

    "Windows options" are pretty-much gone in the "creators edition". Everything has to be done in the registry now. The left-hand column with the access "objects" - as in the image below are what I'm trying to change.

    Ah - navigation pane. Sorry, no you can't change the font. I'm still awaiting my update for creator edition, but would be surprised if they made it difficult for users to change display scale.

    You can change the display scale (100%, 120%, etc.) in the Windows creator update, but they took away all of the lower-level adjustments. Google "Windows creator update" and "font size" and you'll see a variety of issues, mostly on forums. I've been able to change menu font size thru the registry, but they've made it real difficult. There are some apps that claim to do it for you, but I tried one and it didn't work - don't trust most of the apps out there though.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
