>>Does anyone know how to set the font sizes for things like command window Intellisense? The Data Session window text and buttons? Is there a registry setting that could override it? Or some setting in the Tools / Options somewhere?

>>As resolutions get higher and higher, and my aging eyes get weaker and weaker, I would like to see some larger fonts used in these areas so they are approximately as big as they were back when we had lower resolution monitors. The physical dimensions of the Data Session "Properties" button, for example, on my 1080p laptop monitor is only 9/16" x 3/16", and the text itself is only 3/8" x 1/8".

There's a dialog that used to be easy to find and is now pretty well hidden where you set colors, fonts and sizes for various components like menus and tooltips. The dialog is titled Window Color and Appearance. I was just able to find it in Win7 by going through Personalization in the Control Panel, hitting Window Color and then Advanced Appearance Settings.

I was able to find this page:
https://www.wintools.info/index.php/system-font-size-changer

Which was pointed to by a suggestion that in Windows 10 this was a custom tool to modify the font settings that the tool in Win7 you indicated previously did.

After running it and adjusting everything to 2 up from 0, it's a good size, but not every place honors it. VFP9 is one that doesn't. Other windows look nicer with larger menu text, larger displays on the small monitors, etc.

Tamar, when you adjust the size in Windows 7, does it change the size in VFP9?
