Everything "Search Bar Font Size" small

Post by SwissP »

XP User with fully updated "Search Everything"

The Everything Search Bar is too small to read. For Windows 7, holding ctrl+ scroll up/down would increase or decrease the search bar size. For Windows XP. The Search bar remains the same size when holding ctrl + scroll up/down (font of search results increases decreases).

Is there a fix for this or an older Everything I should be downloading that has this fix?

Exit Everything

Edit everything.ini (with a text editor)
Search for 'search_edit_font_size='
Set a size, say '17', as its value

Start Everything


(For whatever reason, that's the only way I see to do it - even in Win7 ?)

---

Ctrl++ Ctrl+- will resize the result list (font size), but you must use the keyboard + & - rather then the numeric keys + & - , or the mouse scrollwheel.

Thank you very much for your reply and your help. Unfortunately, the font size of the Search Bar Remained. I did go to the .ini file and changed the search_edit font size to different sizes (20, 30, 40) along with the other fon't size changes, but the size still remained the same.

I did a couple print screen screens,
Windows XP = http://imgur.com/a/aBFXj
Windows 7 = http://imgur.com/a/kxbDE

As far as Windows 7, it works perfectly fine, but not windows XP.

Are you sure you've got the "correct" Everything.ini?

Does a search for 'Everything <space> .ini' turn up anything different?

Working here on my end, XP.

Everything-dumy123.ini:

Code: Select all

search_edit_font_size=17
go.bat

Code: Select all

everything.exe -instance dumy123

Thank you very much for your help. I un-installed it, re-installed Everything and changed the font (via your suggestion) and it worked. :D
