    Default screen menu

    I need to set my font size and type in windows to get my screen menu to work.
    Where do I find the font size and type restrictions for my screen menu?

    By screen menu are you refering to the Message Editor? That's the dialog box that you type the messages into.

    The old Screen menu! Type options at the command prompt, go to the Display tab, click on the Display screen menu toggle.

    I'm attaching a screen shot.

    Please note I have *moved* this thread from the New Forum Users Forum to this one as I believe it would be better served here.

    Below snippet is from the small print on the Forum General page -

    so... as far as I know? you can't modify the font size or style in that, can you?

    I know how to modify the size of the font by changing it in display properties. Right click on the desktop, Properties, Appearance tab, font size. I'll attach an image for that.(I'm still a little overzealous with my SnagIt program)

    I'm not sure how to change the font style though.

    Default Re: Restore Screen Menu

    I have monkeyed around with that and it didn't work.

    I can turn the screen menu on. However, there's no text in the menu itself.
    I found out that the Windows system font settings affect this menu for what ever reason.
    Windows system font settings need to be set to the screen menu font style and size restrictions in order for the text to show up in the menu. I think.
    I don't know how to set the system font settings for windows and I don't where to find the font restrictions for the menu. Can someone please help me?
