Expand dialog boxes

Post by *CWBillow »

Is there any way to expand the dialog boxes -- like those that show during a copy process?

Being a person with less than great vision, I set default fonts at 12pt. This works fine in the tress, but in the dialog boxes th lines of text get cut off. If the boxes themselves were larger, sizeable, or would adjust to the font size that would be GREAT.

You can increase the size of the dialogs by adding OverrideDPI=150 under Configuration section in Wincmd.ini

the value 150 is just a sample, you can use smaller or larger DPI as you like

Add

Code: Select all

OverrideDPI=120
to your wincmd.ini section [Configuration] and reduce the font size from 12 point to 10 point.
This setting scales the dialogs and fonts as a whole (about 20% ~ 120dpi/96dpi).

Isn't it time to mention this setting in the help file 4.b wincmd.ini?

I'm using this settings (OverrideDPI=120, Segoe UI,9) since years in conjunction with a 20", 100 dpi monitor and a viewing distance of 1.6 meter without any negative impact.
