Fonts are too small in menu bar [SOLVED]

[LuisC-SM]

Hi.

Is there any chance I can increase the size of my fonts for the applications opened with wine?

My resolution is 1600 x 1050 and the size seems to be from 5 to 6 pixels (or dpi) and it really hurts my eyes.

All my linux apps are just ok at 10 pixels (or dpi)

Thanks in advance

Luis

I suppose you could change the fonts in the menus, tooltips and message boxes using winecfg. Go to the "Desktop Integration" tab. There you can set these fonts and font sizes. I do that frequently to get decent-looking apps.
Other fonts of the GUI may be "hardwired" into the applications and hard to access. There is, BTW also a "Screen Resolution" slider on the "Graphics" tab. I'm not sure what it does or if it has an effect on the fonts. Just providing a lead here. Good luck.

Try to increase the dpi settings in winecfg. Default is 96, which is small for
your resolution.

Hi.

Thanks a lot to both of you guys...

Increasing the DPI is kind of tricky... it does not accept my X values (115 DPI) but it accepts, 113 and 116 dpi, which is ok for me.
Changing the size fonts in the Desktop Integrator gives me the followint error:

fixme:msg:pack_message msg 14 (WM_ERASEBKGND) not supported yet

I think, to be able to use this feature, there is a need of a theme??... although I might be wrong....

Thanks in advance for your help

Luis

PS. The winecfg window has changed to a nice and viewable size, but other win applications like iexplorer maintain the same size (small)

Hi.

Well, I installed a theme and it worked just great... (as mentioned by hasi)

Thanks a lot guys

This one is harmless here. It only concerns the winecfg window, not the
process of setting the value hidden behind
