Button text question.
 
I agree with what Fang said here:

How do I change the global font/size of the text on buttons?

If themes can't do it, you can just increase the general font size in Windows itself. I remember some people having problems with the large fonts setting, though, so it may not work too well :(

So in short, there's no way to do it just for buttons. Depending on how hard it is to add, that'd be a pretty cool feature - being able to set the font and font size for buttons individually.

Being able to change the font for a specific button is on the wish-list for the future. Right now CMUD uses whatever your default Windows font it.

And yes, the DPI video setting to scale your interface has some problems. Some components don't scale properly and it messes up some of the alignment of controls in various windows. That's not something that is likely to change for a long time (zMUD has the same issues) because it involved changing the source code of a lot of 3rd party components.

Oh OK. In that case I can't wait for it to be taken off the wish list and put on the features list! Thanks for the responses.

Can we change this yet? I need to increase the font of my buttons.

Sigh...increasing Windows font size didn't do diddly to my toolbar button text size. I need to make this font bold or increase it. Can someone help me out here? It's hard to see.

Edit: I mean for the buttons I myself create by the way. Not the actual CMUD toolbar.

Unless I missed it, I don't think this feature has been added yet.

Thanks for responding Tech. It would be nice if it was added soon. You ought to be able to change the height of text, make it bold, or whatever. I'd like to see that placed in button options or add a new style menu for buttons.
