Request: Customizable Font or Zoom #26

Open BOBJohnson opened 5 years ago

BOBJohnson commented 5 years ago

I'm on a 4K monitor at a 100% DPI. I leave it there because 1) I hate Windows DPI scaling, and 2) The individual apps where I need to content larger to be able to read do a better job than Windows DPI scaling - IE, in VS, I set the text zoom there, and in web browsers, I use Ctrl+Mouse Wheel to zoom on individual web pages.

Anyway, a setting to set zoom level, or a setting to specify fonts (and font sizes) would be nice.

I'm currently using VS 2017, and have no intention of migrating to VS 2019 until Microsoft makes the new horrible Start Window customizable (IE, allow custom start pages like Solution Start Page) or I find an external alternative (like a standalone Solution Start Page).

As stated in #25 - a vote here might help a little bit: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/idea/531110/allow-cutomization-or-extension-of-the-new-start-w.html maybe express your opinion there, too! 😄

Regarding the 2017 version, I could think about adding a font size setting. Even though it might somewhat look out of place. If that's okay?

Thanks for the quick response. I did already upvote that (and I commented on it - I'm 'David' on there).

I'm not sure what you had in mind, but the simplest thing I can think of (and would make me happy) would be to add 2 settings to the section shown in my screenshot. The two settings would simply be "Header Font Size:" and "Item Font Size:".

I don't need individual item font sizes (where each Solution item can have a different size). Just one universal font size for all items and one for headers.
