Customise search field

Post by rs232 »

I have just switched from Neosearch to Everything and I'm very happy with the result :)

There's only one thing that I really would like implemented though and that is the search field customisation.

As far as I can see I can only affect the result field changing e.g. font type and size, but I would really love this to be possible for the search field.

e.g. if you try to increase the result field font size you'll see that it looks ugly to have the search field very small compared to

my 2 cents

To customize the search edit font and size, please see:
/support/everything/customizing/#fonts_and_colors

or, please consider changing your "Everything" DPI, which will change the size of all fonts and the size of all controls:

Thank you for this!
I guess you should then move this to the "Support" forum as it's not really a feature request at this point :)

One question on this topic why do I have a Enrerything.ini in two places (%APPDATA%\Everything and program files\Everything) ?

Many thanks

Please make sure you exit Everything completely before changing your Everything.ini:
  • Right click the Everything system tray icon and click Exit.
Also added changing your DPI option:

Ok let me recap:

both the about:config .ini editing and changing the DPI from the search field works great!!!

Very final question, I can't see any settings (I'm sure it's me) to change the search field background colour. Is this possible at all?

Thanks again!

Currently the search edit background color is hard coded to the Window Background color as Windows themes makes it difficult to change this property.
