Letters in bookmark sidebar

Post by Tom Dooley »

I just dated slimjet up from version 30.04 to 38.05 and I found out the letters in the bookmark sidebar have become smaller. Is ther a possibility to change the size ? As an old man I can read big letters better ? :(

If you are running Windows 10 or 11 you can do this.

Press the Windows Key
Type "Ease of"
Press Enter
Select Display from the list at the left
At the top, with your mouse, grab the slider and move it to 120%
Click Apply

This will enlarge almost everything on your screen by 20%.
It will not make the font in File Explorer any larger.
You can experiment, but for me, anything greater than 125% makes it not so nice.

Thank You . I already enlarged my screenview. It was the first I did when I got my pc. I meant the letters in the bookmark-sidebar. They have become very small by now. :(

If you used Ease of Access for your initial magnification. After installing a major Slimjet upgrade (jumping several versions) the upgraded Slimjet has likely not interacted with the Ease of Access registry instructions. I think this can be resolved if you open Slimjet. Then go to Ease of Access and make a change to the Make Text Bigger and/or Make Everything Bigger, apply it, then change it back to what you want and Apply that. With Slimjet running while you do this, it should trigger Slimjet to pickup the changes.

That changes nothing. The enlargement of the system works, the letters in the sidebar stay small. I willl use version 30 for the next time.
