One way is Ctrl+Mouse-Wheel. Also experiment with Shift+Ctrl+Mouse-Wheel.

Sorry, I meant to change actual font to say Verdana size 12 as example! As default

On my new Lenovo Y700 laptop with 4K screen, when using 3840x2160 on windows 10 – why are fonts so small on XYexplorer’s error messages, Title bars, Menus, Message boxes, Palette titles, Icons etc? I can read these small fonts – they look like size 4. I Had to switch down to 1920x1440 to get them to display right. I don’t have this problem with Windows 10 explorer nor with M/S outlook, Edge, IE, Word. The only other app that has similar problems is Firefox – but their fonts seem to be 6 which is bigger than XY explorer .
In my screen shot I showed that I tried different combinations of " Tools> Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts | Main Contents"
As an example, the menu "Tools Panes Tabset" shows up with font size 5 on a thin border. So the problem is not just font size, the XY menu's border itself is very thin.

I'm not aware of such a problem. The font size of these elements should be controlled by Windows.

You might check your compatibility settings (right-click XYplorer.exe > Properties > Compatibility):

I think you are right as my windows task bar has small fonts as well. I'll play around with custom scaling in Windows:

In Compatibility options, I have choice:
X Override high DPI scaling behavior.
Should I take this election/choice?

If I select the above option, it asks me:
Scaling performed by:
1) Application
2) System
3) System (Enhanced).
Which should I use?

For me it works with all boxes unchecked. But this might depend on Windows version and settings. Play with it and see what works best for you.
