Change font size

Post by Cookie »

Hey, this might be a really stupid question, but how do I change the font size for various things in CodeLite, such as for example the build output in the lower pane?

Thanks

Not stupid at all ;)

FYI:

- To change the font of the build pane in a permenant way - you can't. BUT you can use a workaround for the current session by giving the build window a focus (just click it) and then hold down CTRL + Rotate your mouse wheel - this will work for the various windows in the 'Output' area

- To change the font of the editor, this is done from 'Settings | Syntax Hightlight & Fonts' and then select the lexer you wish to modify

I just noticed that I miss-lead you...

You *CAN* change the font (type / size) of the build output by simple selecting different font for the editor itself.

The Build tab is using the exact font type AND size that is used by the main editor.
So if you will change the C++ settings from:

Settings | Syntax Highlight & Fonts | C++
and then change the font in the 'Global Font'
This will affect the font of the build window as well
