The one thing Skype HASN'T improved is an option to increase the font size, in general and for IM text. Anyone know if this is possible?

Sorry, but SKYPE does not currently have that option. Not sure if you go to START-->Control Panel-->accessibility Options-->Display--.High Contrast Settings if that may help.

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?

Sue -
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.
