#1

I'm currently using a magnifying glass -- how can I change the default display of everything?

Thanks!

The simplest way for you in my opinion would be to go to the Display Settings of Windows (one way to reach this is by right clicking on the desktop, at least in Windows 10), and under "Scale and layout" increase the percentage. Everything in Windows will become larger, including The Bat!

Thanks, I just tried that, again.   Thing is that not everything displays properly and I'd prefer to increase just the font size as in browsers.

If that's not an option, it would be nice to have it in the future.

Never mind, fixed the menus.

I'm currently back to the handheld magnifying glass when I check email and delete the countless spam and list mail.

I've had so many problems, I can't even remember what happened with the menus other than that I lost some when I increased the percentage of the display and it was hard to get them back, specifically the AntiSpam Sniper menu.  Decreasing to default didn't help, I spent a lot of time getting that fixed.

Somehow, I also could no longer get the workspace horizontal split-screen to display the messages.  It took me almost a week to find the option to check the message preview, don't know how it got unchecked.  Not sure why that's not automatically checked when applying split screen with message preview.

When I increased the display of everything I sometimes got popups with HUGE display to select or save files, making it almost impossible to find the right folder.

I'm afraid to mess with the display again.

It would be really great to have a TB option to increase the fonts for display, a zoom option like in browsers.

Please use mouse wheel together with Ctrl key on keyboard - you can change the text size as you want.

This is a big help, but does not change the size of headers, message list, folder list, menus, dialog boxes, etc. My vision isn't nearly as bad as the OP's, but I have enough difficulties that I often need magnification, high contrast, and other adaptive features, so I'm alert to these things.
