Feature Request: Allow font select for Rename dialog

Post by SuperDude »

I was wondering if you could add the ability to choose a font for all of the main dialogs/windows, including the Advanced Rename dialog, Bookmarks dialog, and the Options dialog? My eyesight is kind of going bad, and I have trouble reading the text in the main dialogs.

No big rush, and thank you for Everything.

Had the same question a while back and @void came up with a nice solution.

I found a much easier way of setting a global font for all dialogs. If you set the following entries in the .INI file, Everything will use a bold font for all dialogs. All you have to do is:

1) Exit out of Everything
2) Stop the Everything service
3) Open the .INI file in a text editor
4) Change the following entries as shown below, then save the file:

dialog_pointsize=9
dialog_weight=700
dialog_typeface=Segoe UI Black

5) Restart the Everything service
6) Run Everything. All of the dialogs are now displayed using the font you chose.

The first solution in that thread was a workaround; the second one is the "official" way to change font settings in dialogs.
That is the one you used.



Tip: Instead of editing the INI file, you can also type (or paste) the following in the search bar and press ENTER:

Code: Select all

/dialog_pointsize=9
Same for the other settings: precede the setting with a slash ( / ) and press ENTER.
