Font size in message list pane

Hi all,

Have a small problem in that there is very little difference in the message
listing between read and unread. Both appear to be bolded font but read is a
fraction smaller. On another PC in the house there is a huge difference but
not on mine. What setting in display properties sets the font size for that
section in WLM?

I have a related problem: The font size in the message list pane is smaller
then it was in Outlook Express - too small for me to read comfortably. Is
there a way to adjust it?

Also, how do I adjust the font size in the folder pane - it too has been
made difficult to see. The whole interface of WLM is much more difficult to
see, much less ergonomic.


Another example: in the folder pane, clicking on "Mail" or "newsgroups" does
not open that category under the word mail or newsgroups the way it would in
any other windows program - it opens it elsewhere.

Surprisingly, those fonts and font sizes are hard coded. Here's some
food for thought:

I get the feeling Microsoft wants a similar look and feel throughout its
products, with no regard for ergonomics or its long-sufferieng customers.
This forum, for instace has the same horrible pastel colours as WLM. I for
one find the new colours and fonts very hard to read compared with Standard
Windows XP. It is a retrogrtade step.

I think the WLM GUI is garish. I'll stick to OE and loose
Hotmail access.

Thank you! I changed my DPI and now I can see again. Hallelujah! :-)

I see you are using the inferior web version of this newsgroup,
which is why you are calling it a "forum".

That's ironic. I copied the link into IE, and guess what - it opened Outlook
Express to view the messages !

No doubt this is because I don't have WLM set to be my default something or
other...

BTW, regarding the previous messgae, can we not just Use Display Properties about DPI?

You're welcome, and thanks for posting back.
Just remember that this is a system-wide setting, so some things
(other program interfaces, web pages) might look weird, or even
malfunction. Swings and roundabouts.

Control Panel > Folder options > File types. Check the settings for
URL:..., particularly news, NNTP and Mailto to make sure they do
what you want.
