8 is just the recommended minimum in the list. You can enter any value in the edit box above the size
Oh my... Shame on me. Yes, it works, Thank you. 2 of 3 problems solved.
But I noticed something that apparently is a bug. To reproduce:
- Set Free Area to 10. Click OK, click Apply. Font is large, as expected.
:loop
- Set Free Area to 6. Click OK, click Apply.
- Watch carefully dropdown list font size.
- endloop
See what happens? While setting font size 6 (or 7 or
few times, nothing should change, but actually dropdown list font shrinks for each iteration.
This may be the reason why people report microscopic font size sometimes.
Also there can't be a option for everything, There are already too many options. It turns inte option hell.
I agree. As a user I was sometimes lost when I started using MC and tried to change something. Still I am from time to time.
But the scaling things are going to be tweaked a bit more. However some things that works in 150% scaling looks bad in 225% scaling. so it is not easy to get right.
That's why I'm asking for possibility to turn off automatic gear box and switch to manual.
