    make text and other items larger or smaller


    anybody know if it's possible to change these presets (reached via the screen resolution menu)?

    my eyes aren't what they used to be, and a little magnification would make things a little easier.

    however, certain things, such as non-windows notification icons, look terrible at 125%.

    i'm hoping it's just a simple registry key, so i can experiment with 110% etc. if it's a lot of kerfuffle, i don't think i'll bother...

    anybody know how? :)

    Hi Angelo,

    You can use step 6 in the tutorial below to set a custom DPI size.

    DPI Display Size Settings - Change


    You can also use step 7 in the tutorial below to change individual item's text size in the Advanced Appearance Settings.

    Window Color and Appearance - Change

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn
