Is there a way to increase the text size in Windows 8 applications?

Is there a way to increase the text size in Windows 8 applications?

I find the way to text size too small in most news reader applications.  Looks like you should be able to increase or decrease the text size the same thing you do in a browser using CTRL + or CTRL-, or your mouse wheel.

You can increase the size of the text on the desktop, but it doesn't have any effect on the subway, or whatever you call it today.

Probably, there should be a setting to increase the size of the text under settings of PC!

IMO, I would probably find a lot of people out there wouldn't buy a W8 Tablet since the text is to small to read!  This has fixed as soon as POSSIBLE!

Edit: I noticed that a lot of Apps is updated to help with this problem.  Unfortunately not on the main screen of App, if you select an item to read the improvement will become visible or selectable.

Hello

On the start screen simply type the word "police" and select the filter settings on the right.  You should see an option 'Make text and other items more or less '.  Click on that and adjust the text or at the desired size.

These instructions don't change the DPI of the screen ratio when it is in the classic user of Windows interface. The new interface Windows username however does not change when this setting is changed (which, in itself, is rather unfortunate).

The only way to change the font size of Windows apps Store is as follows:

1. click on the Start button to get the new user of Windows interface

2 start typing 'police' (without the quotes)

3. click on "settings".

4. click on "enlarge everything on your screen; This opens the settings of PC (which is different from the classic Configuration screen)

5. set "Enlarge everything on your screen" on it.

Personally, I still find it too small for a lot of apps, but it's a small improvement on the default settings.

  • Is there a method to increase the font size in an Adobe Connect session?

    I have a 4 k screen on my laptop.  Web sites fine-scale but when I'm in an Adobe Connect session, the scale is far and the font size seems to be something like pt.5, if that.  Is there a way to increase the font size of the Acrobat Connect Pro sections?  Change the resolution on my laptop does not solve the problem.Capture.JPG

    This is the resolution that I get no matter if I'm at 1024 x 768 or 3840 x 2160.  It's too hard for my split screen to be read by others.

    That's all! By using the. exe.manifest fix (http://www.danantonielli.com/adobe-app-scaling-on-high-dpi-displays-fix/) on FlashUtil_ActiveX.exe in C:\Windows\SysWOW64(32 if there are 32 bit OS) \Macromed\Flash and then open it in Internet Explorer works! The scaling works on my 4 k screen!

  • Is there a way to change the text marker popup color?

    When I hover over a marker there is a blub of text that appears in the source monitor.  The color is dark blue difficut and is to see what the text against a few sequences says.

    Is there a way to change the color to something more light?

    Thank you

    At first reading, I thought you were talking to the ToolTip that appears when you mouse over a marker (or control, assets, etc. elsewhere in the application), but while they inspected your screenshot, I see that you actually talk to the superposition of the Source (added by CC7.1) monitor feature.

    The appearance of the overlay content is customizable.

    1. Click the key icon in the lower right corner (betw resolution playback and duration)
    2. Overlay settings > settings...
    3. Adjust the setting of the opacity of a lower value. Increase the text size setting might help, too.

  • Is there a way to change the font size in the comments to a readable/superior police box? I went into preferences and tried making it bigger, and it does not work. Thank you.

    Is there a way to change the font size in the comments to a readable/superior police box? I went to Keynote > Preferences > General and tried making it bigger, and it does not work. Keynote 6.6.1 thanks.

    The fonts themselves, or one of the font attributes cannot be changed; (size, color, tabs or alignment)

    Although it would be very helpful to change the font size, in normal circumstances, this should not be a problem; comments are designed as a personal note by the designer and should only ever be seen by them.

    Sign of salvation,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community forum. From the description of the problem, it seems that you want to change the font size for the user interface modern app.

    You can change the modern user interface text size by going to the charms > settings > change the settings of the PC > PC and peripherals > display

    Also see this Microsoft article:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/make-text-screen-larger-smaller/?v=t

    Windows 8.1, you can now set the DPI (Dots per Inch) scale to make text and other items, such as icons, fonts and windows, to more or less important for all display or by display screens.

    Windows 8.1 DPI scale improvements are mainly focused on:

    • Optimization of ergonomics and the readability of displays high-resolution
    • Offering an experience uniform multi-screen systems
    • Give developers optimize app specific scale based on display DPI

    If you are using a resolution of 1366 x 768 display on a shelf, chances are that UI will look good 100% ppp settings. But what about when you connect the tablet to an external high resolution? In Windows 8, you can choose either 100% in order to optimize the user interface on the screen of the tablet or display up to 150% in order to optimize the user interface on the outside. You have to make compromises.

    8.1 Windows takes care of this issue pressing address scaling of IPR by display . By default, Windows 8.1 will choose the optimal DPI scaling value for each display based on the value selected for the global scaling in the control panel.

  • Is there a way to link the text fields in an interactive form in ID CS6?

    I'm recreating a form where they had several fields of text on the other. If the form was not interactive, it would be so the user could use to fill longer and more detailed answers to the questions.

    But since this is supposed to be interactive, I have a question the need to do this, at least that I could link them somehow, so that the user's long response would result from one field to the next according to the needs.

    Is it possible to do? Or it works better to merge into a large text 3 text fields?

    If the latter, is there a way to change a text field to return in a text box or image? I can't find this option.

    You can't bond PDF fields with each other.

    Do a multi-line, Scrollable text to give program input field forces (in Acrobat, but not in InDesign, you can also set a limit on the number of characters).

    As I've said elsewhere, choose object > Interactive > convert to object to a field of a normal object.

  • Is there a way to set the font size as default in WordPad - Windows 7?

    In Windows 7, is there a way to set the default value in WordPad to Courier 10? I see no place to set the default value. I save my changes and when I close and reopen the document it's back to Courier 11 and the spacing is all off. I create documents for customers who need very specific settings (including a 10 - PT font.) to copy and paste resumes to online applications. Once I have send the plain text for them, they, also, versions I can save these specific parameters. It's extremely frustrating; in XP and Vista, I was able to save 10-PT policy documents. I don't see why this was changed. Any suggestions? Anyone at MS have the power to solve this problem?

    I created a document called a new Doc - highlighted space vacuum-made my the font changes and size and saved.  So when I want a document with my size settings and the police, I opened my new Doc.  Make sure that when you save it you rename this new Doc remains empty.  I created a shortcut on the desktop and open the new Doc instead of WordPad.   I guess you can do your employees.  I hope this helps.

  • Is there a way to check the product key on Windows 7

    Ladies and gentlemen

    Tablet of my wife is pre-installed with Win 7 and twice in recent years I needed to reinstall. The tablet with Windows 7 pre-installed and included the disc. I now find I need reintall again as complaints about the machine being slow emanate from the kitchen. While I wrote down the product key for the program that I find now that I have is to not store this piece of paper very solidly and can no longer find it. This raises a few questions. One option is to download the ISO file and install. I did, but it asks for the key of product, which was not really surprising. I have a desktop computer, but is there a way to get the product key without doing a full installation of Windows 7 on the desktop? I'm a bit lazy and do not want to save the office first, if it is not necessary.

    Thanks for your advice.
