Setting the font-size of the StatusBar text?

Post by PeterPanino »

I have Version 1.4.1.988 (x64) in Windows 10, working on a High DPI monitor.

How can I set the FONT-SIZE of the StatusBar text?

Close Everything.
Open Everything.ini in your text editor
Find status_bar_font_size=xx
Change xx for your taste
Save file
Restart Everyhing

Thank you very much! Why this setting is not in the UI?

Is it also possible to set the font-size of the Result-List-HEADERS?

Is it also possible to set the font-size of the OPTIONS-DIALOG? The text size in the Options Dialog is microscopically small on my monitor!

To change the header font size:
  • Completely exit Everything (right click the Everything system tray icon and click Exit)
  • Open your %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini
  • Change the following lines:
    header_font=
    header_font_size=
  • to:
    header_font=arial
    header_font_size=24
    where arial is your desired font and 24 is the desired height pixels.
  • Save changes and restart Everything.
Everything is DPI aware and should scale to your system settings.

To change the dpi scale of Everything:
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /dpi=144
    -where 144 is your desired DPI. 96 is the default, so 144 = 150%
  • Type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /restart


Font customization for all controls from the UI is in development.

Thank you very much! That's the first time I can easily read the text in the Options Dialog!
