Hello all,

How do I change the size of the font used in the tree views of WinMail i.e
the folders window and the email summary window? The "Font size" option only
changes the size of the font for a single message.

Cheers,

john.

Can't be done individually.

This is a Global setting in Windows, it affects all other font size
displayed on your PC too !!!

Right click the desktop>personalize>left corner, adjust font size>120
DPI>restart required.

Yup, thought it would have to be a global change. Shame.

Right click a blank spot on the desktop and choose Personalize.
Click Windows Color and Appearance.
Click Advanced.
In the Item drop--down box click Icon.
Change the font size.

I am using Vista Home Premium and in the retail version that I have, the
setting for larger font is at
Right click a blank spot on the desktop and choose Personalize.
Click "Adjust font size (DPI)" - which is a heading in the coloured left
side of the Personalization window.

I am using Ultimate, so not sure if you see the following extra step?

Follow Franks advice but you need an extra step, **"**

"Right click a blank spot on the desktop and choose Personalize.
Click Windows Color and Appearance.
**Open classic appearance properties for more Colour options**
Click Advanced.
In the Item drop--down box click Icon!

Change the font size.

Do not Bold the text setting!!

This is also a Global change that can be accomplished using the slider on
the DPI setting, but it removes the need to reboot.

That is a different change than the one I recommend.
