Hi all.
I am starting to learn the basics of Blender Python scripting.
Some tutorials suggest to use the Info window to see, and eventually insert in a script, the code related to various commands. But I have a problem. I use a 27" monitor with a resolution of 1920*1080 pixels. I am able to change the system font, and in some Blender windows, as in the Python console, there is the useful Ctrl+mouse wheel zoom function. Instead in the Info window the font is always very small, quite unreadable, and I did not find any way to change it and increase its dimension. So at present it’s very cumbersome to use the Info window as help for scripting.
Do you have any suggestion? Would it be difficult to add to the Info window the same zoom function present in the Python console?
Thanks.
Hi RickyBlender. Maybe I am missing something, but I did not understand your message. I have problems with the Info window, not the Text editor window (where I can zoom with Crtl+mouse wheel). If I try to press N key in the Info window nothing happens.
The problem is just that
Inside User Preferences I already changed the ->System->DPI to increase the size of general UI font. Furthermore in some types of windows, as the Text Editor and the Python Console, it’s possible to zoom with Ctrl+mouse wheel, so no problem there.
But in the Info window I always have a very small font, and it seems that there is no way to change the size. So for me it’s really unconfortable checking that window to see the text of the various commands and copy some parts to the scripts.
I don’t know why only the Info window seems unable to change the font size, I hope there are some workarounds.
Yes, but I would prefer to see what I’m copying In particular after I applied several commands, it would be useful to only choose the relevant sections.
If you go in User Preferences -> Themes, there is also a section devoted to the Info windows, but it only contains color choices, not font size.
Which system are you using? I am under Win 7 64 bit, and both in the Python Console and in Text Editor I can zoom with Ctrl+wheel mouse.
Under the Edit > Preferences > Interface > Display subheading of the Interface window/selection, you will find at the very top a menu choice for Resolution.
By increasing the value under this selection, you increase the text size of ALL WINDOWS. This is the only way I know of that you can increase the Text in the Info Window.
I had the same problem when teaching a new student in Blender who had difficulty seeing small text. I hope this helps. It is actually the answer to your question, you were asking about the Info Window, not the Text Editor.
