scriptfree font size
scriptfree font size
- I found scriptfree's font size becomes a bit smaller than usual, which makes it really painful for my eyes to get used to. Is it by design?
I tried to define a custom zoom level in IE8 to get a size I like, but this setting doesn't seem to keep persistent and specific to one web site. Also it would require a few more clicks and typestrokes.
What's the motivation of this change? Are there many people complaining former size wasting too much space?

- If you are reading outside of Visual Studio's Document Explorer, just use CTRL + Up / Down to adjust this font size. I think these pages are written on monitors that are gigantic, and so the fonts look bigger to the MS developers.
novice programmer - Well unlike in firefox where you can zoom to 110%, Ctrl-= in IE8 will zoom to 125% which looks too large to me.
I haven't been using the integrated help viewer for a long time, since I've binded a shortcut key to do a google feeling lucky search for any text I selected like an API function name from any context, even if outside visual studio. That's why I care about the font size in IE.
Of course huge thanks to MSDN team for the scriptfree UI which makes my scenario work almost perfect. - I second that .. I like the script free view the best but the font is a tad too small. Also the navigation on the left side is very limited in case of all the views except the classical view
shake - We will fix the font size in out next monthly release.
