Can the tab title font be customized/themed?
-
It is the only major eye sore on an otherwise pleasing user experience. I’m sure this font is straight out of Windows 3.1.
I navigated through all the Preferences and appearance-related options and I could not get this font to change.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

That’s because the menubar font is straight out of a Windows OS setting, which you will have to find for your particular version of OS (every rev, Microsoft changes where and how to edit those).
(And as Alan answered while I was typing, you can at least shrink it down to something more reasonable using the Reduce checkbox:

As the Reduce setting (ticked) is the default, YOU had to turn on this “font straight out of Windows 3.1” at some point that you’ve forgotten about.

Probably when I was WFH (where I use 4k monitors vs FHD at work–where I am now).

Thank you Peter and Alan for your help.

This is not a generic Windows help forum. I’ll show you a google search which may bear fruit for you (it gives multiple pages which all say the same thing)… but I make no guarantees, and any followons should be made in a generic Windows 11 help forum, not in this Notepad++ forum.
