The font size has changed in Messages?

Were there an update that changed Messages recently in El Capitan? Messages now use a tiny font same size when changing the size in the preferences. Suggestions?

Hello

There have not been any changes to the fonts used (or available for use) in Messages.

However, it is possible to turn on more options.

In system preferences > accessibility > display

Here select the option 'reduce transparency.

This allows to be accessible in other fonts Messages > Preferences > general Section.

If it isn't AND the blade of font size can be used but makes no difference (especially if you leave the app and it does not keep) then you will have lost write permissions for the .plist which controls it.

It may be preferable at this stage to then test the Permissions of all the files.

Use this thread Reset Home Folder permissions and ACLs error

You have the Orange/useful by Linc Davis scored first, and the Terminal statement he did so is on a single line.

(he suggests a number of 41, but it's just randomly - last time I ran the test part, I had 3 see the place)

If you run that green/solved marked instruction Terminal to reset the permissions.

Do you remember disk utility, used to "repair permissions".

It has only done anything but the users folders.

The instructions in the link all make in user folder your.

  • 'Options' are not listed under 'Tools' in the Manger of the activity to change the font size of the incoming messages. Where is he?

    I'm changing the the font size for incoming messages. Thunderbird "helps," says click on Tools/Options/display/setting in the advanced form. When I click on 'Tools' or use "Alt + T", 'Options' are not listed. Where can I go to get the "options"? I am running Windows 8.1 if it makes a difference.

    ALT + T you should get there. Options is under Tools on the menu bar. Pressing alt makes the menu bar appear if not already displayed.

    If you use the AppMenu (square with 3 lines) button click the AppMenu, hover over the Options, and then select Options.

  • Can I change the font size for the mail application?

    For the purposes of mail, I want to change the font size.  In other words, the size of everything on the screen when I'm watching and reading mail (do not as much care of the font size in the mail I made up).  Hereby, I refer to the list of the mails which is located on the left of the screen, where it lists who it is from and the subject and the right of the screen, where the content of the selected mail mail message appears as follows.  In fact, it might just be a type of "zoom" as well, not necessarily affecting the size of font in itself.  Want just everything what I see on the screen, reading, to be bigger. Have looked under 'settings' and 'help' and can't find anything about it in two places.

    My mother is 90 and said: "it's so small, I can hardly read it.  Wow, thought new Windows 8 was supposed to be a new world, easy and user friendly; and yet, here, I am an "expert" was using the PC since the beginning of the Radio Shack, start Windows, etc... but have to post this question here.

    Thanks if you can help with that!

    Some of them depends on the capabilities of your display.  If she has enough pixels to do without causing interference, you can adjust the DPI (dots per inch) of scale and it will expand the size of the text and the items for you.

    To see if you can do it, go to your charm to search and type 'scale '.  Choose the search result it shows and then try the configuration in larger size.

  • Why is the font size changed

    After the upgrade to 22.0 has changed the font size of all my windows.

    The extension of theme and the police is much easier to use than to change the PixelsPerPx. I tried and it decreased the size of my toolbar and menu bar. But I saved the website just in case.
