Im trying to customize my desktop for work in 1600X1200 resolution .
I can resize all fonts I need in Display properties--> apperance --> Advanced ..
except the text size in dialog boxes stays the same and is way too small in this resolution.
Does anyone know where do you change that?

thanx in advance.
 
If you posted in a size that people could read they'd be able to tell you no. Dialogs are usually hard coded.

So why do you continue to post in a minute size that I can't read?

This is a folder option dialog (the View page) See 8pt is hard coded.

29960 DIALOGEX 0, 0, 240, 230

STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU

CAPTION "View"

LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US

FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg"

I'm talking about the system dialog boxes like "Display properties" and "Folder options" not 3rd party software.
that's a little hard to believe, it's near unreadable in high resolution.

1600X1200 , and the only having this problem.

Perhaps they are viewing their computer from a great distance?
Or they have a visual impairment?
Accessibility Options should be tried.
 
Two feet is fine for me. I am picturing the OP buying a large screen so
they could have it further away. Perhaps they like to compute in their
recliner!
 
my screen is about 50sm far (that's about 1.5 feet) not far at all... (and
my vision is fine as far as I know)
