larger text in contact list possible?

the font for the names in my contact list seems tiny - is there any way I can
adjust this font size? thanks!

Greetings Matt,

Actually, no. Even if you set Windows into large fonts the contact list will be the same
size.

Ok, thanks for your quick and unambiguous answer! much appreciated. I am
sure the text in the contact list was larger in 7.x versions, maybe i'll have
to go back and try those out again. running on a laptop at 1600x1200, this
is often an issue (windows is set in large fonts and dpi 120% already...).
As I say, thanks.

perhaps if you increase the DPI settings in the advanced display settings in
windows

i have the same problem, i know exactly what u mean. Have u found a solution
yet?
i too have the large dpi and higher font setting. I find this problem only
with live messenger 8.1.......8.0 and under the fonts size relates to the
windows setting.
