Windows 10: Increase font size in Edge?

Does anyone know of a way to enlarge the fonts on the tabs and favorites bar items? The old eyes are not what they were, and I'd like to bump up the size if it's possible. A registry entry? Anything?

TIA

This only increases the font size for contacts not SMS.

 

I haven't found one and have a similar problem with Chrome.

 

Well, not specifically for Edge.... but you can change the font scaling for all of Windows: https://www.windowsphoneinfo.com/threads/change-dpi-scaling-level-for-displays-in-windows-10.9641/

 

No idea for Edge or Chrome, but this can be adjusted in Firefox, either with UserChrome modifications or with an extension, such as Classic Theme Restorer.

<just a suggestion that probably doesn't help if you want to stay with Edge>

Yes, I know about scaling, and have applied a degree of it. But that scales everything. And you can individually set font sizes for menus, message boxes, etc., but that doesn't affect Modern Apps - only win32 'Desktop Apps'. I suspect that somewhere in the registry are entries for adjusting the metrics for Modern Apps, but I haven't been able to find any settings dialog that exposes them...

 

For Chrome and Firefox, and indeed all win32 'Desktop Apps', you can easily adjust the size of menu items, message box items, etc. from the Display Settings. The problem is with Modern Apps (I guess they're calling them 'Trusted Windows Store Apps' now). I can find no way of tweaking the window metrics for these apps...

 

Found it..

 

I'm not seeing it, Jeff???

 

Lower right hand corner..

 

Well.. I just tried it and I guess the font size for this site is being set via the HTML. Or it just doesn't work yet..

 

That's just for "Reading View", that won't do anything to the tabs or favorites.

 

Changing text size and boldness works in FF and others but, does nothing for Edge! *Sad





You'd have to either increase the dpi scaling or modify some Edge manifest somewhere!

 

I've not been able to test it yet (away from my Win10 machine). In any case, it's not the font size of the site I'm worried about - I can generally tweak that any way I want. It's the font size of the window elements - menu/messagebox/favorites, that kind of thing. Edge being a Modern App, it does not respond to the WindowsMetric settings in the registry.

Anyway, I'll check those 'advanced settings' a little later and report back... thanks for the pointer!
