Text size in Binder and on Main Toolbar too small to see

How to do enlarge the Text in the Binder and on the Tool Bar, in Windows 11. It is so small I can’t read it properly. I have changed as much as I can in the Systems setup but it has no effect with Scrivener.

As @TriciaAE is a Windows-user, I’ve moved this into the Windows forum.

File > Options >Appearance then look at the general tab and the binder tab (fonts and ? click bold for folders)

In the General tab there is also a global user interface font setting. That will increase the size of almost everything (that doesn’t have its own setting, like the Binder). As you mention using Windows settings, this might be more aligned with what you were thinking. I’m not sure what you mean by the tool bar, since none of those have any text. You might be referring to the menu bar, which would be impacted by this global font setting.

Just another possibility - I am also on win 11 but do not have trouble with size of the interface unless it is related to the screen resolution of my monitor (windows settings)

In Windows I don’t see a Font setting if I follow File > Options > Appearance > General Interface
to enlarge n the font size.

There is a section called “GUI Font”, with the menu and window font selector. If you cannot see it, because your screen resolution is too small, then you may need to use the Tab key to get to it. You’ll have to press it about six times before you see it moving down the list of controls at the top, and it’s the one right after Format Toolbar: Icon Size, or about 14 Tab key pressed down. Press Spacebar, and you should see the font selection window come up.

Thanks for the reply AmberV. I see “GUI Font” in the Appearance tab, but there is nothing to click on. It is blank to the right of it. (shrugs)

You might need to switch to a default theme if you have having troubles finding buttons in the interface. Could be it’s a theme in progress or something, and needs an update. Use the Window ▸ Themes submenu to pick “Default”, and restart.

Otherwise I don’t know what might be going wrong, it’s a gigantic button, as wide as nearly the entire pane, so it’s impossible to miss and must be some kind of malfunction.
