    Tiny Font Size + How to Change


    Does anyone know how to change the font size of this menu?



    I have tried every setting in Advance Apperance Settings/Window Color and Apperance and none of them seem to affect it.

    And if I need to change my system font or something, could someone tell me how to do that.

    I'm just trying to make it a little bit bigger.

    Thanks.

    The menu in the sky that is above the Earth, Kirsch.

    What? Did I not properly identify the "menu" that has a large black arrow pointing at it?

    Is "menu" not the proper name and instead of trying to help me, you decide to teach me a lesson?

    Don't worry about it and thanks anyway.

    Thanks Jonathan but, I already have the magnification set to 115% and it doesn't help.

    Anything larger than that and everything starts to look cartoonish.

    Give this a shot: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-ch...-in-windows-7/

    Edit: But choose menu instead, i will play around with on my end to figure out what option it is but that seems to me where the change needs to be made!

    Terminology is everything. Your pointer isn't pointing to a "menu." That is a file open dialogue box. You won't find a separate font setting for it. Changing the DPI or setting "Large Fonts" is your only option.

    Incorrect. This is a file open dialog box:



    What I incorrectly identified as a menu, while I was thinking drop down menu, is actually called a drop down list.

    Seems you may wish to work on your terminology also.

    Large Fonts has no effect on the size of the drop down list font size and I don't wish to distort every font on my computer by using DPI.

    The DPI setting has no effect on it anyway. The DPI will slightly enlarge the pop out menu for Control Panel, which is horribly small, but does not affect the drop down list.

    Do you know how to change the system font size?

    Actually, the drop down list is an element or object. The window itself is a file open dialogue, which is what I was referring to. Trust me, I know my terminology :)

    Unfortunately, I know of no option for changing the system font size.
