Click Tools > Options

Hi Many thanks. This is only for the code editor. 

 

What i mean is the font size in logs or in the object browser, by keyword testing and so on.

Seems i have to change my monitorsettings.

Try below code, I may help you to format result/log

 

Sub LogFont

 

Set attr = Log.CreateNewAttributes

attr.Bold = true

attr.FontColor = RGB(0, 100, 0)

Call log.Checkpoint("Actual Result : This is my Test - ","", pmNormal, attr)

 

End Sub

 

 

OR

 

1- Go to Test Log

2- Right click on it

3- Select Format Colums

 

Do the changes whatewer you want.

 

 

 

 

 

Hi Petra,

 

> Seems i have to change my monitorsettings.

Yes, this seems to be the only option for now.

As a possible option, you may try to play with Settings|System|Display|Advanced display settings|'Advanced sizing of text and other items' control panel entry, but i am not sure if it helps.

And does anyone know if there are plans to change this unchangeable font issue?  It really makes working with this tool difficult, to the point where I am thinking of not using it. My resolution is set to 1920x1080, which I don't think is an unusual size. [on soapbox] And for those reading this who design UIs, please re-consider using 8pt fonts or else make them changeable. [off soapbox].

 

 

I agree,font change is a very important, All IDE's have it, It gets real hard working in TestComplete's own editor, I often am coping code from TestComplete to other code editors and work there like Notepad++

Actually, this post doesn't have anything to do with the code editor font size...  that was already mentioned further up the thread (there is a way of changing that in TestComplete).  This has to do with TestComplete's IDE font size...  something that is dependant upon the environment.

 

In TC 12.X, if you go to Tools | Options | General | User Interface, there's an option there that says "Themed".  This will use whatever screen text sizing you're using in your Windows environment for TestComplete.  So, if you increase your text size in Windows, TC will do the same.

I also suffer from the malfunction of TestComplete IDE's font size, which makes it impossible to read info, error, pop-ups, etc. See below screen-dump.
I use the recommended Win10 resolution (on both my lap-top and extra screen/display).
And it is NOT the font size in the editor and it does not help to change the Options>General>UserInterface>'Look&Feel' (I use 'Themed').
I would appreciate any solution, thanks 🙂
