Larger font and row select

Post by Asger-P »

Hi

I have just started using Everything, fantastic program!

Two small things I think could be better:

1. The font is to small for my old eyes, it should at least be as big as the font in the menus,
but it would be nice if I could chose my self, at least for the help window.
p.s. If you use a RichEdit instead of a multiline edit, then Ctrl+Scroll zoom is automatic.

2. Set the ListView to RowSelect = true, it makes it much easier to read size and date for a file.

Thanks again
Best regards

Thank you for your feedback Asger,

Please consider adjusting your Everything dpi:
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /dpi=144
    -where 144 is the dpi (144 = 150%)
    -a dpi of 96 == 100%
    -a dpi of 120 == 125%
    -a dpi of 144 == 150%
  • Restart Everything to apply dpi changes:
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /restart
    -This will make all elements in Everything 150% larger.


If you need more control, you can customize the search edit font and font size manually:
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    about:config
  • this will open your Everything.ini in notepad
  • Please exit Everything before making any changes to this file (Right click the Everything system tray icon and click Exit)
  • Change the following lines:
    search_edit_font=
    search_edit_font_size=
    to:
    search_edit_font=Segoe UI
    search_edit_font_size=24
  • where 24 is the font height and Segoe UI is the font name.
  • Restart Everything.


These options will be avialable in the UI in the next version of Everything.



To enable full row select:
  • In Everything 1.4, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the UI tab on the left.
  • Check Full row select.
  • Click OK.

Hi David

Wooow, never thought of using the search edit as a command prompt, great feature.
Sorry for not noticing the row select, I had looked for it, but obviously missed it.

Thanks for the help
Best regards

Also worth noting, Version 1.5 does Zoom-In/Zoom-Out the Search Bar text as well as the Results text, with Ctrl+Plus, Ctrl-Minus, Ctrl+Zero, and Ctrl-Scroll.
