Large text for viewing on TV screen
« on: November 07, 2002, 08:32:39 am »
I have MJ running through my sound system and the display running through my TV so that I don't have a monitor cluttering up my lounge. I have selected the large text and icon settings from the Windows and MJ (I think) menus and this is easily good enough for selecting albums, track etc. but a lot of the pop-up menus for settings, options etc. remain in small text and are almost impossible to see. The same goes for the text with Album View. Is the size for the text and selection items fixed for these, or is there a way to increase the size?

The font size is predetermined by the OS.

In AV I'll look at owner draw menu's so that the popup menu fonts can be changed.

Thanks Rhino. Really like AV2, fantastic handling improvements, but being able to see the details rather than just using the cover images would really be the icing on the cake!

I take it the MJ menus are down to the OS too?

Can't say for certain but I presume so.

Also I have nearly got the ownerdraw stuff done ... I will have a build for you tomorrow or if I'm lucky tonight :D

You can still change it. Look under
Control Panel->Display->Appearance
Select Menu as the item and increase the font size. Of course this will affect every programme, not just MJ

cjdshaw:-
Yes, I have gone through that process and most of the text displayed will appear large - such as the main MJ library - many but pop-up windows (and AV2) stubbornly refuse to do so. This is a particular problem with the Options>settings menus and the burning details. Also downloading track listings, selecting radio stations,  etc...

I've been away. Do we have BIG Text capability?

Yes!

Check the plugins page ... I uploaded the new version about an hour ago.

The popup menu will appear using the same font as specified in MJ.
