Change build output windows font size?
« on: August 09, 2010, 05:08:40 am »
Whenever I build and run, the font on the output window is so small on 1920x1080 it hurts my eye hahah.So I was just wondering if CodeBlocks has a feature that can allow to change the font size of the output window.

Thanks.

Yes it have such feature it somewhere in Settings -> Environment. I don't have a C::B on this machine, so I can't tell you the correct steps

It's in "Settings -> Environment -> View -> Message logs' font size".

Oh sorry If you misunderstood me, I meant in the debug window when you click "build and run" a output window comes out to test your compiled code . I want to change that font .

You'll have to setup your console application (cmd.exe,xterm, etc).
If it is some of the linux consoles, you can change the command used to start them somewhere in the "Settings -> Environment"
If it is cmd.exe, you can right click on the titlebar and then click properties

That depends on your OS.
On windows it's the default window opened, if you call cmd.exe, on linux it's xterm by default, but can be switched to other terminal-emulators in "Settings -> Environment -> General settings -> Terminal to launch ...".

How to set the default font size is a system thing and not a C::B setting.

bash is a shell not a terminal emulator, probably you mean gnome-terminal?

p.s. look for the command line options for your preferred terminal and modify the option in C::B that Jens mentioned.

On Linux, the output of debugging/run default open in an xterm window, to change it to a gnome-terminal,

go to: Settings -> Environment -> General settings
Select gnome-terminal -t $TITLE -x from the dropdown menu of  Terminal to launch console programs
