How to change NetBeans Font Size

Tags:

I am in trouble because font size of the Project window, File window and Service window is small.

How can I change to larger size fonts?

I do not hope that font size in other parts will be changed. E.g. tool menu font size.

I am using:

  • Windows 7
  • NetBeans 7.2.1

How do I make NetBeans bigger?

Windows 10 does this for you now. Right click on your Netbeans shortcut (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\NetBeans) and select Properties. Go to the Compatibility tab and then select Change High DPI Settings. From there, check the Override High DPI Scaling box and set it to System.

How do I zoom in Font in NetBeans?

Alt+Scroll Wheel (on mouse) will do it. If you want to change the font size, go to Tools>Options>Fonts&Colors [note: this is a large icon/tab]. From there, in the Syntax tab (default) click Default, then the '...' button next to Font. Change the font size here, and click Okay.

Edit the netbeans.conf file (located in the /etc folder of your NetBeans installation), look for the line that starts with "netbeans_default_options=". Edit the fontsize parameter if present. If not, add something like "--fontsize 11" (without the quote) at the end of the line.
