Hello, I gotta come back to this thread.
I've been enjoying of a much better reading experience until now but I came across a program that seems to use a lot of the parts whose text cannot be changed. Bongo said:
Some Properties and Personalization text cannot be changed.
So I must ask, is there really no way of changing those without messing with dpi? not even with that paid app you used (vistastylebuilder)?

Let me show you. In the first screenshot you can see the menus are beautifully enlarged, but in the second you can see dialogs still use the tiny "properties". Those are the ones I'm asking about

Sorry for the late reply I have been ill for a couple months.

I downloaded and installed the program and then tried to enlarge the text and I could not find a way to do it.

Unfortunately, Bongo passed away four years ago, so I wouldn't wait around for a response from him.
