Code Box

[Ol' Wombat]

I am working on a 22" monitor (1680 mode) and browsing the mods in this forum here I find the font display inside the code box is extremely small maybe 4-5 point in height.

Is there a way to make that font a bit larger? - I have to copy/paste it into notepad to be able to actually read it.

Easiest way would be just to change the zoom / text size of your browser .

View > Text Size in Internet Explorer or View > Zoom in firefox

Or you can hold Ctrl and move your scrollwheel on your mouse downwards.

It's not about general text display - it's about the code box text only!

There isn't really any easy way to do this just for the code box (unless someone wants to change it site wide ).

If you're using firefox you could install greasemonkey and someone could probably write you a script to do it.

The difference in small-font display on wide-screen monitors, compared to a 4:3 CRTs, is quite significant and painful as well.

The easiest way would be by not using the inline-window (code box) when posting code snippets 

I wonder no one here on a wide-screen realising that problem? Me the only one on a 22" monitor?

that depends very much on on your screen size/ display resolution ratio

I have a 32" tv as a monitor, it's running 1080p and i can barely see the text inside the code box... other text such as posts and such are perfect.

At least one person that knows what I am talking about! (sigh)

BTW, welcome to the forum

thats the difficulty with using pt for font-sizes.

you mean it's enormously difficult to up these maybe 2pt?  
that's all it would take but ignorance is the winner.

[karlbenson]

2pt would make it too big for other resolutions.

My point was instead of using pt for sizes, personally I prefer to use px.
But there is an issue with IE and px sizes in that if you select larger size, the px stays the same.

what a wonderful world :/

The code box looks fine in my laptop and desktop.  Laptop is a 15" widescreen @ 1280x800 and my desktop has a 19" widescreen display @ 1440x900.

Perhaps, it's a different issue with 1680+

Perhaps, it's a different issue with 1680+ 

Perhaps, as no problem is seen here and I have the same setup as Jay: 1440x900

We are talking here about 1680x1050 or higher - still no one around saying 1680+ is fine.
Obviously no one around here using this resolution.

i'm at 1440x900 or something like that and have no issues with it, TBH

your comment is in no way helpful - again, 1680x1050 and up.. not Mickey Mouse
screens  have a look at my desktop!

I confirm this forum looks great at 1024x768
