Font not big enough
Is there a way to increase font size of listed files and folders?

Re: Font not big enough
You mean:
Tools > Settings > Thumbnail > Appearance > Label Alligment
Tools > Settings > Browser > Thumbnail > Appearance > Label Alignment
?
If yes: then I have changed the font, clicked OK and re-opened the program - but I see no change

Re: Font not big enough
Right, clicking on the displayed font opens a menu that enables both the font and the font size to be set...xnview wrote: Wed Mar 29, 2023 3:55 pm yes in Tools>Settings>Thumbnail>Appearance , you change the font & font size
@user0 Does that meet your user interface design standards?

Wouldn't labelling that button Font be better? Or even better, separate Font and Size displays on the Appearance tab?

- as minimum
- group label stuff
- add 'Font' label
- change font selection button to display font name only without size, style and effect as it cause some unpleasant UI behaviour
(do it for all Font buttons in Settings)
- as maximum
- rearrange elements a little bit on Appearance tab
- maybe change group naming from 'Thumbnail cell' to 'Thumbnail card'
I doubt separating font name and size would be good approach here, as these settings are not that important and you do not change them that often.cday wrote: Wed Mar 29, 2023 4:09 pm Or even better, separate Font and Size displays on the Appearance tab?
Also, in case of showing font name and size separately I would expect to have style (regular/bold/etc) and effect (strikeout,underline) controls to be present as well, which overwhelm UI too much.
Re: Font not big enough
Renaming the existing [Selected font name] button to Font would seem a simple start...
That would open the existing font menu with the typeface, size and style options, and should avoid the issue that the OP encountered.

Re: Font not big enough
Despite switching from using installed version 1.0.1 to portable 1.4.3 my choices for font are still being ignored

Yes
Also in version 1.0.1. And so as my font choice have been ignored it was my reasoning for investing time and energy in downloading 1.4.3
But the update have not fixed the issue

Re: Font not big enough
As you can see, chosen font is only applied to its button

And also:
Tools > Settings > Browser > Thumbnail > Appearance > Label Alignment > Font style
uses wrong language, as it is not English - i.e. the language I have chosen for my Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 19042 x64 and for my XnView. That other one I have only under the
Menu Start > Settings > Time & Language > Preferred Language
of Windows set as a second keyboard of OS
