Request to adjust chat font size in Cursor IDE #913

Open dedh121224 opened 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When using Cursor IDE for code development, I find that the font size in the chat window is too small for me, making it difficult for me to read and understand the chat content.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like Cursor IDE to provide a feature that allows me to adjust the font size in the chat window. This way, I can set the font size that is most suitable for my vision and preferences.

Additional context Currently, I can only indirectly adjust the font size by using the zoom function in the browser, but this affects the size of the entire interface, including the editor and other parts. I would like to have a font size adjustment feature specifically for the chat window.

super trivial, here's an example: do something like 

./cursor-0.10.4.AppImage --appimage-extract
${EDITOR} squash-fs/cursor/resources/app/out/vs/base/parts/sandbox/electron-sandbox/preload.js

In the file then add something like this: electron

and restart. There you go.

That worked. But directly editing application files is risky and can lead to instability or breakage if not done correctly. It would be better to have this option easily available.

I'd like to request this feature as well. You can adjust the font size of the code editor and every other part of the program, but I can't find anything to adjust the font size of the AI chat window. The font is really small on my high resolution monitor. Please add a setting to be able to change this font size too. Thank you.

+1 because it's one of those annoying details that just makes a program better once fixed

FYI a workaround is to adjust the size of the font size for both editor + chat with cmd-+/- and then to adjust it for the editor alone in the settings.

Yep, +1 from me. I read about Cursor and got all excited, first time I tried it it was virtually useless as I couldn't read the text in the chat window. I'm back with VS Code until a simple option to change the font size is installed, not a workaround.

+1 For some of us, this is an accessibility issue. Eyes get bad as we age, especially if we stare at computer screens all day!!

I'd like to see adjustments not just for font-size in general, but specific font-sizes on various parts of the UI. The in-editor pop-up, chat window, etc., all needed individual settings.

I tried tweaking every font-size in VS code so I could zoom, but that blows out different parts of the UI (like tabs). I'm currently using an extension that injects CSS into VS Code to modify the UI. It is working (mostly) in Cursor.

I'd appreciate the tip on the extension to work around this in the meantime. I have my Cursor AI Chat in a separate monitor and the size of the bottom options (e.g. model, mention, image) makes it quite a challenge to use. Which is a shame because all in all Cursor has made me 100% more productive. I think the UI and some usability issues are the only things holding it back.

Sure thing! I'm using this vscode extension: Custom CSS and JS Loader

You need to toggle open devtools and then drill down into the DOM to find the classes you want to style. Of course, these can change at any time, so you might have to make adjustments if/when Cursor makes updates.

So far, this has worked quite well, especially since the chat container has a class aichat-container that makes it quite distinct. The other class that is useful is .aislash-editor-input for the inline editor. You have to get down into the DOM to find all those little buttons, but it makes a big difference! Good luck!!
