How to adjust Line Height for result lines?

Post by pstein »

How can I adjust the line height in the result list?

I want to see many lines in Everything Window as possible without scrolling.
The space gap between result lines is very big. I want to remove 1 or 2 or 3 empty pixel rows

Again: I am NOT talking about the font size!
The font size should not be changed.

If Line height change is currently not possible: Can this option be implemented in the next release?

Thank you
Peter

To set the result list item height:
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /listview_item_high=16
    where 16 is the line height in pixels.
    If successful, listview_item_high=16 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
  • Close the Everything window.
  • Open a new Everything window.
A value of 0 will calculate the item height from the current font.


listview_item_high
listview_item_spacing

Ok, it works.
Thank you.

However this setup is somehow weird.
Why not introducing a Line Height option nearby the font selection Option?

Thank you for the feedback Peter,

The line height is usually calculated from the current font.

I will consider an UI option to set the line height.

Thank you for the suggestion.

It's worth noting that the specified line-height is static and remains the same with Ctrl + and Ctrl - zoom. For zoom to work, something more advanced involving relative pixels, points or row height percentage would have to be used.
