Menu/Icons: how to make them bigger?

Post by *Nimras »

Hi I just got a new TV which runs in 4K and the top bit of icons are impossible to read and see so is as you can see the work text when connected to a ftp, menu items are a little easier but I wouldn't mind them being bigger just a snitch, is there anyway to get them back to normal when I ran 1080p?

See screenshot below

I hope you see it the way I do and can give me advice.

At the "Change buttonbar" settings you can increase the button size at "Appearance"
At TC "Configuration - Font" you may enable and increase the setting for "Set dots per inch ..."

The menu font can only be changed system-wide. You need to right click on the desktop to open the display settings. There you can increase the scaling factor to more than 200%.

Ok its perfect for all my other programs and games so increasing that would be to much.

Any idea how to improve the Text for the FTP and so on as that's to small and drive icons?

Have you tried Configuration - Options - Font - Main window font?

Just did and it changed everything but the little window "log" that tells you what it is doing so no idea what to do there.

The Log window font is chosen so 2 lines of the log are visible at the same time. You cannot change that yourself.
But you can double click on it to view the entire log in Lister.

Right so I can't change it size or text size for those 2 lines?

No, you can't. The font size is determined by the scaling of the screen, which makes the log box larger.

Cool maybe in another update make it so we have control over it?

In any regards thank you for Total Commander it's a life saver

I could, but then you would have either
- just one line of the log text, or
- the connection toolbar would need to be higher too
