I'm a beginner programmer using visual basic on visual studio working mostly with Consoles, and I would like to change the font size of the text that the compiler outputs displays when the code is compiled (not the text when I'm coding, those are fine). Here's what it looks like, compare it to the exit, minimise buttons and the file directory on the title bar for size references
Right now, the font size is like 8pt which is annoying.
Open the options window and go to the Fonts and Colors item. Select the window you'd like to change and then change the font-size to your liking:
You'll likely need to change multiple items, since each window uses its own settings:
Output Window
Command Window
Immediate Window
And possibly others.
To change the font size of the console that launches when you debug an application, you need to change the default font size for the windows console.
Start a command-prompt and then open the options screen
Set the font size:
This will apply to all consoles that open in the future.
None of the solutions suggested by jessehouwing worked for me (using Visual Studio 2017).
What did work was running a console program to open the console, clicking the small icon on the left in the title bar of the console window, clicking properties, fonts, and chosing the preferred font size.
After running and seeing the console windows,
In VSC 2019 go to File -> Preferences -> Settings -> Features -> Terminal and find option of font-size and change to apropriate value for your needs.Question isnt really clear what you exactly need but for all settings of font-size-s is pretty the same path to the solution.

I will give my use case first. I have two similar android studio projects which needs to be opened always. Now what happens is, I often make changes in wrong project because there is no easy way to identify which project I'm on by simply looking at UI (other than looking at the project name on top- which will go away on full screen). So it would be great if I could use dracula theme on one project and default theme on other. Is there any way to achieve it.
There is a way to change the background color of project pane and recent files window.
Goto Preference -> Appearance & Behavior -> File Colors -> {Add project files and set color}
Got the solution from here
There is the ability to "to define any image as a background".
Set a background image for the current project only, or for any project you open or create anew.
To set a background image
1. Either press:
Shift twice (Searching Everywhere), or
Ctrl+Shift+A (Navigating to Action)
and start typing set back
2. In the dialog box that opens,
Specify:
the image you want to use as the background,
its opacity,
filling and placement options.
Choose to show background in:
the editor and tool windows, or
in the IntelliJ IDEA frame.
Selecting checkbox This project only:
Show background in the current project and ignore this background in the other projects.

I am trying to use the keyboard shortcut Shift+Command+[Left|Right|Up|Down] to resize windows in intelliJ. But it doesn't work. Weirdly, in Window->Active Tool Window -> Resize I do see the option to apply the same options Stretch To [Left|Right|Up|Down] along with the corresponding shortcut key combination and that usually works for all windows except the editor window in which all the four options are shadowed even when the editor windows isn't stretched to it's full extent. Anyone has any idea on what is going on? I can do the resizing using the mouse.
It's because these shortcuts only work in tool windows and the editor is not a tool window. From Tool Windows:
Attached to the bottom and sides of the workspace are IntelliJ IDEA tool windows.
[...]
Within the editor, the shortcuts have different meaning:
ShiftCommand← – Move caret to line start with selection
ShiftCommand→ – Move caret to line end with selection
ShiftCommand↑ – Move statment up
ShiftCommand↓ – Move statment down
The editor doesn't have a specific size, it uses the available space. To make it larger or smaller, you have to resize the attached tool windows.
In SQL Server Management Studio Object Explorer - How to increase Font Size?
From the tool --> Options --> Fonts & Colors we can change fonts for many windows. There is a drop down 'Show Settings For' where we can changes font for text in many area's but I'm not sure how to change the font for the Object Explorer. I thought it would be the tools window drop down selection but that didn't effect the Object Explorer. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
You can't change the font of the Object Explorer on it's own but you can change it.
Go to "Tools/Options/Fonts and Colors"
Under the "Show settings for:" dropdown choose "Environment font"
Set the font/fontsize to whatever you want (I use 12 pt Segoe UI)
Click "OK"
Restart SSMS
Using SSMS 2016, it will set use the font and size settings under "Environment Font" in object explorer (and in all menus etc) on restart of SSMS. Screen shot showing setting panel and result
Sometimes I like larger fonts, they help me see clearly and avoid mistakes when reading all the tons of text and data.
My alternatives for not being able to change the font in Object Explorer:
Windows 7 has a Magnifier.
Add a Filter when finding a specific table among the many tables in a database. Right click on Tables --> Filter.
In SSMS-17, Once you have navigated to Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts and Colors, Select Environment Font from the Show settings for. Then the Font will need to be set to a different Font before the Size of the text can be changed. The Automatic default Font setting prevents the Size from being changed.

This is a known issue, and will not be fixed at this time.

change grid result font
Go to "Tools/Options/Fonts and Colors"
Under the "Show settings for:" dropdown choose "grid results"
Set the font/fontsize to whatever you want (I use 12 pt Segoe UI)
Click "OK"
I had a similar issue where the sql connection box was really tiny. I tried using all the different font sizes for environment but nothing would fix the connection box size. What did fix it was a computer restart. All fonts went back to normal.
To increase the output of the print or select function, go to Options > Fonts and colors > Show settings for:, select Grid Results and change the field Size to a default of 7.
This is the second time i have installed VS 2012 and the first time the color formatting for xaml was working but not anymore. If i can change some element in the tools -> fonts and colors but i cant get the normal default scheme back with the blue | red | yellow look, even if i change back to defaults.
Any help would be nice. Thanks
I've had this exact same issue. The solution is:
close all running instances of Visual Studio
open a "Run" window and type in devenv /resetuserdata
That's it. Open your projects again and everything should work fine.
Beware: your personal settings will be lost. Recently opened projects list also.
Right click on the .xaml file -> open with option from the list choose HTML Editor With Encoding
You can try Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts & Colors and Display Items as Use Defaults..as suggested by gerdi...Also make sure all options are ticked Under Tools -> Options -> TextEditor -> General...
I just bought a new monitor that's rather large and I am having a lot of trouble reading the text on my editor. I tried increasing the font size the usual way by going to
Tools >> Options >> Fonts & Colors >> Clicking the "..." button next to font >> and then choosing a large font size
This is the result: (click for full size)
As you can see the cursor becomes a lot larger but the font size remains the same. Does anyone know another way to effectively increase font size in NetBeans?
you might also want to change your font size for other parts of the IDE (other than the code).
Just add the parameter --fontsize <size> (default size is 11) to the startup command.
You can put it into the command line when launching IDE. You can also put it into the netbeans.conf file, which is in the /etc subdirectory of NetBeans installation.
Just place it as a last parameter into the netbeans_default_options parameter.
To increase the font size of netbeans 7.3.1 and 7.3 , you go from menu
Tools>>Options>>"Fonts & Colors" (is an inner menu in the dialog window of Options)
At the "Syntax" tab ,every entry in the "Category:" list-box ,you will notice that the font has the value "Inherited".
If you find in the "Category" list-box the entry with the name "Default" and change the font value of that, you will affect the font size of your editor, because everything is inherited from "Default" entry .
Another method is to increase temporary the font of the editor by a combination of keys.
To find what are the keys go to the "Options" dialog window by
Tools>> Options
and then choose the "Keymap" menu entry
and then in the "Search" textbox type "zoom text" and it will show you what combinations of keys for zooming in /out.
for example mine is the combination of "alt" key + mouse wheel up/down
1st Way:
press down Alt+z and scroll up or down (mouse wheel)
2nd way:
press down mouse scroll(wheel) button and scroll up or down
At Windows in the file C:\Program Files\NetBeans x.x\etc\netbeans.conf
Add "--fontsize [size]" at the end of line netbeans_default_options:
netbeans_default_options=".... --fontsize 16"
Check this image with red arrow direction
Tools >> Options >> Fonts & Colors >> Syntax tab. Select 'Default' from the Category list and click the ... button like you said.
It's the Default you need to select first before changing the size.
In OS X, Netbeans 8.0
Use Command + , to open the options
Select Fonts & Colors tab
Click the button in the Font section (button is next to the Font textbox)
Change the Font, style and size as needed
The solutions here just increase editor font size. You can run netbeans with parameter netbeans --fontsize 20 You can edit windows link like this for example. "C:\Program Files\NetBeans 8.0.2\bin\netbeans64.exe" --fontsize 20
Alt + scroll wheel will increase / decrease the font size of the main code window
press alt and scroll down or up to change the size
I would upgrade to newer Netbeans 7.1 or wait few days/weeks for 7.2, it can be a bug in Netbeans 6.8.
I just add to previous two solutions, that you can increase size temporary with ALT(CTRL) + mouse wheel as in browser. (ALT in Netbeans 7.2, CTRL in Netbeans 7.1)
Tools -> Options -> Fonts & Colors -> then click on Font browse option. Now you will see a popup box. Here you can change Font:, Font Style: and Size:
I had tested it.
Go to Tools|options|keymap.
Search for 'zoom in text' and set your preferred key.
I've set alt+plus and alt+minus.
When i modify the font size in Tools-> Options->Fonts & Colors->Syntaxto 14, the Editor font change fine, but Netbeans doesn´t take any change in fontsize IDE (icons, menus, ...) until i Add the --fontsize XX option in the file ...\NetBeans x.x\etc\netbeans.conf at the end of line netbeans_default_options AND set to true the already added option -J-Dsun.java2d.dpiaware, But i had to increase the font size Editor to 24. Thats works for me.
You can create your own shortcut for increase/Decrease Netbeans Fonts size
just goto Tools > Options > Keymaps than search zoom
click on three (...) dot and click Edit
press your_shortcut_keys ( what ever shortcut you want to set)
For full control of ANY (non simplest editor, non head of tree) ui elements I recomend use plugin UI Editor for NetBeans
To set fonts and colors for displaying help pages:
1.From the main window, choose File > Open File.
2.In the Open dialog box, navigate to IDE-install-directoryide/docs/org/netbeans/modules/usersguide and open the file ide.css.
The ide.css file is the style sheet that describes how to present the fonts and colors in the help pages.
3.Edit ide.css to your preferences.
4.Choose File > Save.
5.Open the help viewer and verify your changes.
Literally NONE of these worked for me.
I am using NetBeans 11.1 on Linux. I found the solution by searching the Options menu. The issue was the IDE Theme- which has an "Override" font size.
Tools > Options > Appearance > Darcula Look And Feel
Uncheck "Override Default fonts by [ Dialog 10 ]"
(OR increase the override font to a bigger size)
Hit OK
Exit and restart NetBeans!
Your environment preferences should be saved for future NetBeans sessions!
