Ok...I've got glasses but the tab bar and tabs are so small it takes away the fun from this browser.....Is there a way to increase the size like when you zoom a page ? I usually zoom my pages 125%....
Help I want to use Slimjet....
Tab/Tab Bar Sizing
Re: Tab/Tab Bar Sizing
Change the font size on you computer. The one you are looking for is called Message Box, I do believe. I have increased my font size also. I use a zoom of 110% on Slinjet.
Re: Tab/Tab Bar Sizing
It seems to change icon sizes..etc... on my desktop not what I wanted...I prefer that it can be changed in the Slim Jet
Re: Tab/Tab Bar Sizing
Icon sizes are not changed. Text size. Either way, there is no way to make tab sizes bigger. Text size, yes.
I have a 22 " Monitor. Right now on Windows 10 I have these font sizes and all looks great for my older eyes.
Title Bars = 12
Menus = 12
Message Box = 13
Icons = 11

Re: Tab/Tab Bar Sizing
You needs must change the size of the system font being applied to the open window. It is not a function or feature of Slimjet. In Windows OS it is not typical or normal for any program to take control of this and over-ride the operating system settings. It is designed/intended to be a system wide feature of the OS so that there is a unified (comfortable? aesthetically pleasing? Microsoft micromanaged?) appearance across the entire platform.CASD1957 wrote:It seems to change icon sizes..etc... on my desktop not what I wanted...I prefer that it can be changed in the Slim Jet
Windows 7 Instructions Worked for me
Windows 8 Instructions I cannot test this to verify
Window 10 Instructions Scroll down to the section, "Change only the text size", I have not verified these instructions
And
This is crucial, you must follow what he says and change at least the Message Box size one or two numbers higher. Also, you have to close and reopen a window in Win 7 to see the change take place. I'm not sure about Win 8 or 10.

Re: Tab/Tab Bar Sizing
That is the right spot....but it only makes the text bigger not the tab...so you can read it...
I use firefox now and use the Multi-row setting... So everything is a comfortable size even with 150 tabs...
I do research a lot and need a lot of tabs open... So this may not work because Chrome won't work also.... because it doesn't have that feature..Multi-Tab rows...
Oh well ..I tried to get away from Firefox

Re: Tab/Tab Bar Sizing
I think very few webpage Tabs will have text that fits inside the Tab at any Font size. If you hover your mouse over the Tab you get the entire description in a hint window.

Re: Tab/Tab Bar Sizing
Well I only have a few tabs open at a time so everyone needs are different. I have gotten away from Firefox for several reasons. but the sheer speed alone of Slimjet and the availability of some of my favorite features such as the bookmarks side panel has sold me on Slimjet. I consulted with a local computer guru who is on the radio here in town as to what I needed to change to make at least the text larger on the user interface of Chrome and it was he to turned me onto changing the size of the font. It continues to work for me on Windows 10 Pro that I am running right now.
