Increase Font size in PT LE 7.1 ?

[Andy Gerome]

Is there any way to increase the font size in Pro Tools LE 7.1 ? That would be great if so. My PC display will only increase the size of icons... nothing in PT. Thanks - Andy

right click anywhere on the computer and select "properties" - this will take you to the display preferences.
Select the "appearance" tab and then hit the "advanced" settings. You can also change the fonts here as well. The fonts and siezes can be changed for the "message box" "message text" "active window" etc, etc.

When you're done, hit "OK" and go back to the "Themes" tab. Save the theme and name it "Pro Tools" or something like that.

Now when you want to load Pro Tools, load up that theme and your fonts will all be the size you want them to be.

btw... I'm assuming here you're running Windows XP of some description? Vista I have no working experience with although I'm sure it's something similar...

Yes... XP with sp3. What I am looking to do is get larger fonts in the mixer and edit window. Is that possible? Thanks, and I will try what you suggest. Andy

Font and window sizes are handled by the operating system, not the program so you'll have to "do your worst" in the display options as I mentioned above. Just muck around with it and you'll work it out :)
