" Try increasing your font size."

It'd be great if many apps actually let you do that. Finder on OSX - how do increase the font size there? IntelliJ - how do you increase the font size there? I can increase the font size of my editing area, but not of the tree area with files in it.

Have been using macs for the past few years, and this is my one of my biggest bugbears - font sizes are often very locked down, and I end up having to shift my position or squint.




>Finder on OSX - how do increase the font size there?

While browsing a folder, do a secondary click (right button on Magic Mouse or two-finger click on a trackpad), open "Show view options". A popup window will appear; select your desired font size (I think 16px is the maximum). Then click on "Use as defaults" and all folder and file labels will use the same font size.


thanks. doesn't help for the sidebar text though. :/
