Hello,
I just started using Code::Blocks and I find the UI font really small and hard to read. Just to be clear: I am not talking about the font size of my code in the editor. I know how to increase that one. But Code::Blocks is a complex beast with tons of menus and tabs, and windows with build messages, and all that, and all of that has a small font size that really strains my vision.
In case it matters, my operating system is Ubuntu Linux 16.04 running Gnome Shell.
I would be grateful for any help you might offer. Code::Blocks is a bit overwhelming and I am trying to read through the menus to figure out what they do and I am constantly squinting and my eyes are beginning to hurt.
Cheers,
Daniel.

What is the DPI of you monitor?
Does other gtk2 apps look OK?
Can you share a screen shot?

Aha! As it turns out, other Gtk apps also had small fonts on the menus. It looks like I did not notice because I do not often use a lot of menus. I spend most of my time on a terminal, a text editor, or a browser, and all were configured to have a larger font size than Gtk menus. Anyway, I went to the Gtk editor, increased the "Interface" font size, and now Code::Blocks looks good.
Thanks again. Sorry for the dumb question.
