Changing the size of fonts in InDesign's menus and toolbars?

Is it possible to change the size of fonts in InDesign's menus and toolbars? I'd love for the Control Panel at the top to be a bit easier to read.

Thanks Bob, didn't see it anywhere but figured it was worth asking. I think the size is a little biased toward people with better vision than me but I guess I'll have to live with that.

  • Changing the size of font in the sidebar

    Do any of your 'mac-gurus' know of a way to increase the size of the font in the side bar? I know one is able to increase the size of the folders, applications, etc but I'd love to find a way to increase the size of the 'home,' 'applications,' 'music,' "iPhoto," etc.
    Any help would be appreciated. I'm exhausted trying to find it on my own.
    Thanks!

    I don't know how reliable this information is, but it might (sadly) put a stop to your searching. It appears that we'll have to wait until 10.6 to have this particular bit of control.

  • How to change the size of a mixed signal graph programmaticaly and properly ?

    Hello to all
    I'm posting because I can't find a way to do the following thing :
    I want to resize a MixedSignal Graph programmatically using property node which are in read/write mode.
    For XY graph it works nicely using PlotAreaSize (? not sure of translation) (Zone de tracé : taille : hauteur;Zone de tracé : taille : largeur in french).
    For subpanel it works nicely using ContainerBounds (? not sure of translation) (Limites du conteneur : hauteur Limites du conteneur : largeur in french)
    For Mixed signal graph I use PlotAreaSize. It changes perfectly the width according to the change in size but not the height. Apparently the height of the plotArea is changing but not the height of the teminal....
    You have to pan in order to see the whole graph... 
    That is not what i'm expecting, does anybody know a way to change effectively the height of a mixed signal graph ?
    (Please avoid the answer like : "choose an other thing for plotting" thanks )
    Thanks for any help !

    Hello,
    And thank you for posting here.
    Indeed PlotAreaSize does not work as hope.
    You could take a look on this link :

    It is one of way to do what you want.

    the fonts in firefox browser and terminal emulator xterm are too small. I can enlarge characters in firefox browser by "ctrl +", but small fonts in xterm  can not be modified by me at the beginning, but now I create and configure ~/.Xdefaults, and this problem has been solved.  the fonts in panel of Awesome WM was also very small at the first, after configuring Awesome's theme.lua file, everything is fine now.:D

  • Globally change the size of multiple imported PDF's in InDesign

    I just used a script to import a 1,299 page PDF document.  I wish to change the SIZE of all the PDF's that I have imported.
    Do I have to go to each page (1,299) and manually change the size?

    Don't know waht script you used, but I recommend this one: InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files
    It allows you to set the scaling when you run it, and it will be one heck of a lot faster to just run the script again on a new file than to go back and manually scale 1299 PDF pages. The other option might be to find a script that can  find the already plced pages and scale them, but I don't know of one that's already availble. You could ask over in InDesign Scripting

    What do you mean by "uploading in Acrobat"?
    (Note that if you change the size of text, it won't reflow, so you end up with a mess. Answer is, probably not useful)

  • Is there anyway to change the size of the font in images in slideshow

    You seem to be able to change the size and style of the font in embedded Image Gallery, but is there a way to change the size of the font, that is displayed in the full screen slideshow mode? Small white font over black bars are very hard to read.

    Yes. Hit the Edit button top right of the EXS24. Should be selfexplanatory after that.

  • In past versions of FireFox there was a view option that allowed a change in size of fonts and objects on the screen temporarily on the fly. This seems to be missing from version 6.

    You can use "Ctrl +" and "Ctrl -" to zoom pages quickly and "Ctr 0" (zero) to reset the page zoom.

    There are also page zoom buttons in the toolbar palette in the Customize window that you can drag on a toolbar.
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

  • How to change the size of the web item text in WAD 7.0

    Dear All
    I am quite new to WAD and I am having a problem with changing the font size of a web text item
    I have searched already and someone suggested changing the Design property to  HEADER1 or HEADER2 etc and then I should be able to change the font / size.
    I have done this but to no avail
    I want to have large heading across the top of the web template
    am I using the wrong web item ?
    I know I can key the text directly into the web template and change the font from the menu bar  but I need it in an item as I want to export them through to PDF later
    Would be grateful of any help
    thanks
    Sandra

    Thank you all for your quick responses (I will award points once this is sorted)
    On the information you have supplied this has opened up yet another new part of WAD that I have not experienced ...TAGs
    Shubhranshu - I have done what you said but as I have never used tags I have just had a look around and found that I can insert Any Tag but not sure if I should be doing that.  If it is inert any tag , I chose FONT from the drop down and cbmAttributes defaulted into the custom tab for the class name but not sure what it wants in the Attributes and CSS Style tab, it won't accept what I am putting which is leading me to believe that I shouldn't be doing it that way.
    Venkat - thanks for the links they will prove very useful.  I've had a look and although they talk alot about the XHTML code for tags they don't actually say how you do it in the editor - I would like to produce one that way first and then see the code it generates for it.  I'm a bit apprehensive with changing the code direct as I don't want to mess anything up.
    Thanks again for your help

  • Troubles by changing the size of a bookmark header text Repot generation Toolkit

    Hello everyone
    I'm having  troubles getting the size of  a header text formatted into a different font size, I attach the code I'm using to get the work done.
    At the end I get all I want from the report generation toolkit but the text size in the header and footer . Does Anyone have a clue?
    Well the image is too small I'm getting an error when I try to post a bigger one. The thing is that the VI's used here to change the size are append report text.vi and format text.vi. The first one is used to insert text through bookmarks in the header and footer  (it works just gereat) and the second one is intended to change the size of the inserted text (it doesn't work at all) I've already used shift registers in the for loop but I get the same results. The last VI is dispose report.vi
    thanks in advance

    Maquina Etdos Verifica Reporte.vi ‏94 KB

    Hello Julio9,
     sorry for the waiting I had to clean the block diagram up and take into account some data security issues before I could post the information you asked me to. I have to tell you that I already came out with a patch for the issue nonetheless it is not the correct way to solve it and I would appretiate if you or anyone else could help me to do it right.
    Here is what I changed:
    In my code at the Initialize state (within the state machine) there is the New Report.vi I opened it to get also the new report SubVI.vi opened, afterwards I selected the NI_Word.lvclass: new report subvi.vi and opened it in its code yoou can easly see the double numeric constant value for the size of the text inserted as default. I just changed it from 12 to 8 to correct the formatting. As the outcome all the text inserted through the bookmarks have the default size (8 pts). 
    I attached the new version of my code with all the documents you will need. Please follow these steps:
    1.-Open the project named Verifica Temperaturas 2010.lvproj
    2.-Run the main vi named Maquina Etdos verifica reporte 2.vi
    3.-Check the option Laboratorio de Refrigeradores:
    4.-Click OK
    5.-Complete the information as shown:
    (For Selecciona Machote pick the word document named Document.doc attached in the .zip file. For the Selecciona Archivo de temperaturas pick the Estacion1_21-02-2012.txt file also attached in the .zip file)
    6.-Press Siguiente
    After completing the steps you'll see how the document in created. As expected the size of the text in the header is 8 pts.

  • Changing the size of a JComboBox

    Greetings,
    I am trying to build a mechanism to perform zooming on a JPanel with an arbitrary collection of components (including nested JPanels). I've tried a number of things with little success. The following is my most promising contraption. It can zoom labels, textfields, checkboxes, and buttons. However, for some reason, the combo box refuses to accept a changes to its size. I'm not sure why this is the case. Its font changes size appropriately.
    Anyway, I'm running in JDK 1.4, and the following program lays out a palette of components. To change the size of the components, hit F1 to zoom in, and F2 to zoom out.

                return AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(m_zoom, m_zoom);
            private Font transform(Font font)
                return font.deriveFont(getTransform());
            private Dimension transform(Dimension dimension)

    javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
    public void run()
    createAndShowGUI();

    component.setSize(transform(component.getSize()));First of all the above line is not needed. The LayoutManager will determine the bounds (size and location) of each component in the container based on the rules of the LayoutManager. The Flow Layout is the default layout manager for a panel and it simply uses the preferred size of the component as the size of the component.
    So what happens is that when you change the font of the component you are changing the preferred size of the component.
    So why doesn't the combo box work? Well I took a look at the preferred size calculation of the combo box (from the BasicComboBoxUI) and it actually caches the preferred size. The combo box uses a renderer, so the value is cached for performance one would assume. The method does recalculate the size when certain properties change. Note the isDisplaySizeDirty flag used in the code below:
             else if (propertyName.equals("prototypeDisplayValue")) {
                    isMinimumSizeDirty = true;
                    isDisplaySizeDirty = true;
                    comboBox.revalidate();
             else if (propertyName.equals("renderer")) {
                    isMinimumSizeDirty = true;
                    isDisplaySizeDirty = true;
                    comboBox.revalidate();
                }It also handles a Font property change as well:
                else if ( propertyName.equals( "font" ) ) {
                    listBox.setFont( comboBox.getFont() );
                    if ( editor != null ) {
                        editor.setFont( comboBox.getFont() );
                    isMinimumSizeDirty = true;
                    comboBox.validate();
                }but notice that the isDisplaySizeDirty flag is missing. This would seem to be a bug (but I don't know why two flags are required).
    Anyway, the following change to your code seems to work:
    // component.setSize(transform(component.getSize()));
    if (component instanceof JComponent)
         ((JComponent)component).updateUI();
    }

  • I need to change the size of the view for easier reading.  Is there a way to make the page view larger without affecting the form?

    Hi Guys, good product beginning however it's not as good as many of the other Adobe product's workspaces.  I cannot change the size of the view during form design work, so it's a visual strain to work in Forms Central.  Is there a way to modify the view (not affecting the width, size or font when presented on website or on paper)?

    In Photoshop CC 2014 (Windows only) it is possible to use a setting of 200% to scale the UI. On some monitors it improves readability and on others it cuts part of the application screen. To give it a try go to:
    Edit >> Preferences >> Experimental Features
    Put a check-mark in the box and click OK
    Then close PS and re-start for the change to take effect.
