Hi,

does anyone know if it's possible to change the font size that is used for the PEP3 UI?
I like the overview that you get on a large screen, so I would prefer not to reduce the resolution. However, the font is terribly tiny which is most annoying when trying to type a few lines of PS code into the script window.
I'm not even asking for a monospaced font for the script window... :-D

At a quick glance I did not see any config option in the "ProntoEdit Professional 3.exe.config" file, but maybe there is a way.

Even though there is a .config file alongside the .exe, there are no useful settings within.

BUT....

A little secret. Press and hold the CTRL Key and then wheel up/down on mouse when editing the prontoscript.

TADA! It's magic.

The change persists until such time as you move to another object of different type. So, if editing a page script and move to Advanced tab on another page, increased size remains. If you then move to a button and stawrt editing that in the ProntoScript windows of the 'Actions' tab, the size will persist across different buttons.

I found this by accident when first dealing with PEP2. I wish the changes persisted across edits but as is a CTRL + Wheel, is really easy to zoom up/down.

Lyndel, you're my hero! :-)

Since I'm running Windows within VMware Fusion on my MacBook, it's a little more complicated in my case, though (and also, I'm using a trackpad instead of a mouse, so no wheel...).
On a Mac Control+<scrolling> magnifies the whole screen, which is an OS function, so it also works on the (full screen) VMware Fusion window and the shortcut is not passed through to the Windows OS running within.
However if I use Shift+Control+<scrolling> it's not intercepted by macOS and it works in Windows and PEP3 just as you described.
Now I can finally read what I type and don't have to debug stupid errors I made when mistyping ":" for ";" anymiore :-).

Thanks a lot!

Sebastian
