Menu font size
I have so much stuff in my menu bar that some of it gets hidden when I use applications with many menu items across the top (i.e. Firefox). Is there a way to reduce the font-size on the menus to make room for my other menubar items?
-marc
Well, there is the basic stuff: Battery status, Switch Users, Volume control, Spotlight.
And the following that I run: MenuCalenderClock, Butler, Wifi Indicator, MenuMeters.
I'm running out of space up there and the menu fonts could be smaller. I imagine it can be done....?

You can reduce the screen resolution; but there's no good way to change menu fonts alone.

How do I increase the menu font size for Bible Fox?
I know how to increase page text size etc, but using (brown) Bible Fox theme, I can't increase the menu font size. Is there a way to do this?
You can try to increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 steps to see what works best.<br />
In Firefox 3.6 and later this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements more precisely.
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the <i>"Enter"</i> key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. -
[SOLVED] PekWM menu font size
I just installed a new theme (it's called Case) to use with PekWM and it is pretty ideal for me. However, the menu's font size is really, really small. After delving into Case's theme file, I found some "$font" strings, but I cannot find where font is originally defined. Changing the font in lxappearance does not effect the theme's font, either.
Any pointers?
Last edited by oalicein (2011-05-07 13:01:55)Thank you Jean-Paul, I cannot believe I missed that.
After reloading PekWM, the font appears bigger, but now my submenus are cut-off. For instance, while the first menu should say "Development" only "Develop" fits. Similarly, "VLC media player" only reads "VLC media".
Does this also have to do with the first line in the theme? I'm not exactly sure how to proceed.
Edit: On restart, everything looks normal. I probably should have checked that first. Anyway, thanks for your help.

Spry horizontal menu font size question
OK so I got all the other quarks worked out on my menu but I can't figure out how to change the font sizes on the sub menus. I want the main menu text to be in 16px bold face. All of the dropdowns I would like in 12px normal. I have tried every varible in css and I can't just the sub menus to change, its eiter all of the menu options that change size of none of them. Please help. This should be a simple thing but nothing works. Thanks
Give your menu items a class as follows:
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu mainItem" href="#">Item 1</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#" class="subItem">Item 1.1</a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="subItem">Item 1.2</a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="subItem">Item 1.3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
then apply style rules for each class as follows:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
#MenuBar1 li .MenuBarItemSubmenu.mainItem {
font-size: 16px;
#MenuBar1 li ul li .subItem {
font-size: 10px;
-->
</style>
I hope this helps.

Menu font size in CS5 Photoshop
I finally figured out how to change the font size in all Adobe menues using Windows 8.
Go to Display in Control Panel, look down the window and see "change only text size"
Click on the drop down menu that has "Title bars" in it, you will then see a list of various parameters, namely "menues".
Click "menues"
Go to the right of menues where you are likely to see font 9, change that to 10,12, 14 or whatever you would like. I use 14
click "apply" and bingo! When you go back to Photoshop you can finally see the words in the menu!
Windows 8 sets the menu sizes to tiny.There is not, unfortunately - some people alter screen resolution for that alone, or make use of Zoom from System Preferences - Accessibility... which isn't the same thing at all, but can help keep things usable.

On my new Surface Pro, the menus for each of the products are disproportionately small. The size of the web contents is fine, but the menus are hard to read. Is there a way to increase the size?
Thanks!For now the solution seems to be using the Scale 200% setting in Edit>Preferences>Experimental Features.
There is also a setting in Edit>Preferences>Interface>UI Font Size that enlarges some of the fonts, although not the menu bar.
After changing either setting, you need to restart photoshop to see the changes.

Menu font sizes in fluxbox & gnome
I'm using arch 0.5, with regular updates via pacman. In fluxbox every gtk 2.0 application [firebird, gaim etc] has a tiny menu font, but this same application, when opened in gnome, looks nice, that is its menu font has an appropriate size. How can I fix this? It's annoying because every font in gaim is rendered tiny and only through preferences it is possible to change the font size of the message windows, but not the size of the input font in the editor. So most of the time I can't see what I'm typing. I've noticed the same font size change with slackware as well.
anamesaOK, let's be more precise. This method works for gaim and other gtk2 apps, but it didn't work for firebird. Here the menus keep being tiny in fluxbox. I've searched for an option regarding fonts' size via "about:config" in addressbar of firebird, but either there is none [regarding menu] or I was blind for it.
And then, the preferred font appears rather large in gnome, that is every time I switch over to gnome, I have to edit the ~/.gtkrc-2.0, decreasing the font size. Then, when switching over to fluxbox again, I have to increase the font size to it's previous value. But not everything can be perfect, so let it be so. -
Increase Menu Font sizes for Premier CC 2014 with 4K Monitor
I have just purchased an 4K monitor, but the menu fonts are to small to read. In Illustrator CC 2014, there is an option to increase them by 200%, which is perfect, but Premier doesn't seem to offer that. Is there a solution?

How do I increase the menu font size/screen display?
My husband is having issues reading the small fonts in all of the menus. Pages, Numbers, Safari and Mail.
I have been searching but have not been able to find anything.
I havve a new iMac desktop and he has a new MacMini - purchased last weekThe only way to get a system wide enlargement of fonts would be to take down the resolution a notch. You can go to system preferences and then displays and take down your resolution. It will adjust the pixels to a larger size so everything will appear slightly larger. If you don't like the result simply switch it back.

How do I change the menu font size in Elements 13
I just downloaded Elements 13.0.0 on my new Win8.1 computer and the menus are so tiny I cannot use them. This is the only program that does not seem to respond to the Settings on my PC. Lightroom 5.7 for example is just fine. Can someone help me?
Generally you can't and there is nothing nothing you can do about this. These things are normally controlled by the Operating System but some programs don't use Microsoft's Software Development Kits (SDK for short) and so the settings in OS do not change anything in programs that are running on it.
Dreamweaver people have opened a campaign to make Adobe change this practice but we shall have to wait what happens.

Well, it depends. If only your xfce4 related fonts are to small, then skeeter's
posting will do the trick. If all your fonts are a bit to small, then you better
edit the xintrc file in /opt/xfce4/etc. The Xft.dpi settings are related to the
X-servers resolution. Increase the number to enlarge the fonts.
