Actually you can, right here zigzag I've looked EVERYWHERE for this screen and I don't think I have it. Please tell me where to find it. I looked first under Tools, Options and couldn't find it anywhere. Then I opened up an IM to see if I had any screen like that in my IM settings --- and I don't. I even checked the 'Help' link, and unfortunately, all it says is go to Tools, Options --- but doesn't tell you where to go next. Can you help? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavillion dv5t (generation 1) OS Vista 64 bit and 32 bit (SP2) CPU Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor T9400 (2.53 GHz Memory 4GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm) Graphics Card 512 MB NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT Monitor(s) Displays 15.4" diagonal WSXGA+ High-Definition HP BrightView Widescre Screen Resolution 1680 x 1050 Keyboard Built-in HP Mouse Built in - Synaptics TouchPad V6.5 on PS/2 Port Hard Drives 320GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection Internet Speed Max Other Info ~ Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-card w/Bluetooth ~ Blu-Ray ROM DVD+/-R/RW ~ Integ.

Try this -
Skype Contacts > Tools > Options > IM & SMS > IM appearance > right hand side click change font > and voila! - you have it.
Confirm that it works please.

Hi Jan, very strange --- I have only 3 clickable links under Skype Contacts: Add, Search, and Conference. I don't have any 'Tools' link there. I only have a Tools link in the main Skype Menu, under which there are no IM settings -- but there are "Chat and SMS" settings. However, even there, under Appearance, there are only 2 choices: 1. Skype basic and 2. IRC-like style (which is basically a generic Courier-type font in the same tiny size type.
I think I must have a different Skype version than you all. I'm going to go on faith here, and upgrade to the most recent version. I'll report back after I do that. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavillion dv5t (generation 1) OS Vista 64 bit and 32 bit (SP2) CPU Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor T9400 (2.53 GHz Memory 4GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm) Graphics Card 512 MB NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT Monitor(s) Displays 15.4" diagonal WSXGA+ High-Definition HP BrightView Widescre Screen Resolution 1680 x 1050 Keyboard Built-in HP Mouse Built in - Synaptics TouchPad V6.5 on PS/2 Port Hard Drives 320GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection Internet Speed Max Other Info ~ Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-card w/Bluetooth ~ Blu-Ray ROM DVD+/-R/RW ~ Integ.
