zoom on menus (SOLVED)

Post by Graham » Sat Oct 21, 2023 6:08 pm

Windows 11 and latest QCAD
I can zoom with no problem in the drawing area.
Is it possible to increase the size of the menu icons and data field keyboard input by either zooming or altering some drawing variable/preference?

Some widgets icon size are by preferences:
- See: menu Edit .. Application preferences .. Widgets ... CAD Toolbar / Tool Matrix / Toolbars
Some fonts and sizes may be changed:
- See: menu Edit .. Application preferences .. Graphics View ... Fonts
There is also a general entry:
- See: menu Edit .. Application preferences .. General .. User Interface
What also may affect the whole GUI.

As last there is a QCAD Themes designer by petevick (Pete Vickerstaff), see https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=9295
Many things but not everything can be adapted with Themes.

Regards,

Thank You
Have experimented and have got the menu displays better for me.
Its a pity you cannot zoom on the menus and sub menus as you can the drawing area though.

Windows has a built in magnifier tool or even third party apps could help with that kind of task ... :wink:
