Text at top of player window in .35 is now too small

Hello,
MC 27 version 27.0.22 has worked well for me until now.  But starting in 27.0.35 and still in .39 the text that gives "what's playing" data at the top of the window of standard view has been shrunk down a couple of font sizes and I can no longer read it from my 16' distance from my 63" monitor.  I really like having that data there while I'm listening and hope it was just an overlooked detail in the new versions.  It fits in the same space whether larger or smaller so I'm hoping you could just bump it back up in your next revision.  Until then I have switched back to version 27.0.22.  BTW, MC 26 had the larger text already and in earlier versions of MC 27 the text was reduced until .22 when it was returned to the larger font.

Thanks for considering my request!

Hi, Just a reminder of my wish list:  In December 2020 (post above) I asked if you could return the text size at the top of the window to where it was in build 27.0.22. (see details and screen shots above).  There have been no replies so I've just kept using the older build.  Now were on build 27.0.62 and it still hasn't been changed back.  Thanks for a word about it or a fix. 

All the best,

Bill (a JRiver lover and daily user)

Or, you could just go to Options->Tree & View->Select Font  and change the font and size to whatever you desire.

Thanks for the thought, but doing that (changing the font choice from 18 to 21 made the entire window huge with the drop down fonts about 30 times bigger than they were.  Also, everything is so large now I can't get to the font size choice to put it back.  I only was asking for the one item that gives playback info larger (see my attachment).  Everything else is perfect and this item was perfect in 26 and 27.0.22. 

I know I'm making it sound simple and easy and perhaps it's not.  No worries, I can keep using 27.0.22 and be happy.

There's never been a separate font setting for that area, I'm afraid. The size for that area has always been based on the one font setting for the interface. And if everything is working as it should there's no need for anything else. 

I see no change in that area in the Windows version; the font layout looks the same as it has for years.

Try 1pt larger instead of 3pts, or a different font. Your 30 times comment sounds like an exaggeration, and if it's not please post a screenshot, showing the whole window this time.

Maybe someone else with a Mac will see your screenshot showing the 30x problem and be able to reproduce it.
