    Is there a way to go back to the old version of Find window, where Search backwords button is the same size as Search afterwords button?

      Nope.
      Which version were they the same size in?

        @alan-kilborn Thanks for your response. I don’t remember exactly, I updated NPP several times after that version.

          My point was, I don’t recall any version where they were the same size, so I was wondering if you could tell me one.

              In version 7.7.1 (June 20, 2019), it was still << and >> as the buttons, and they were equally sized.

              In version 7.8 (October 11, 2019), it changed to ▲ and ▼ Find Next, and there obviously had to be more room to accommodate the extra text in the ▼ Find Next

              The text on those buttons is customizable: the general procedure for customizing button text is to edit localization\english_customizable.xml, and then select Settings > Preferences > Localization = English (customizable) .

              To add a wrinkle, starting in v7.8 when the default text was changed, english.xml had entries for those two buttons, but english_customizable.xml did not.

              		<Item id="1721" name="▲"/>
                              <Item id="1723" name="▼ Find Next"/>
              

              Fortunately, even though it was missing by default, one could still add those two lines to the bottom of the <Find ...> ... </Find> section of english_customizable.xml, and then customize the text as desired. (v7.8.4 remedied this mismatch.)

              As a second wrinkle, although you can change the text, for example to <Item id="1723" name="▼"/>, the localization files do not change the width of the buttons, so there is still an imbalanced width for the ▲ vs ▼.

                @peterjones Sorry, I didn’t get it exactly. So, can I change the text following the step you mentioned?

                  Yes, but it won’t solve your original problem:

                  where Search backwords button is the same size as Search afterwords button?

                  because, as Peter said:

                  although you can change the text, the localization files do not change the width of the buttons
