Npp and plugins, font size of the representations

[Raff Zahn]

In Windows 11 I set the display to 125%. Npp does not handle the adjustment. Since I can permanently zoom the size in the editor, there is no need for action.

A problem arises with representations in plugins. The entries in snippets are quite small. My eyes get quite strained and I have to get closer to the screen.

Is there a way to adjust and zoom the representations in plugins? Since I couldn’t find anything, so I ask, whether anyone might be able and interested to creating a solution.

That’s strange. On Windows 10, I have two monitors; one is scaled at 100% and one is scaled at 125%. The size of menu text, icons and editable text changes when I move the Notepad++ window from one monitor to the other (unmistakably visible as I drag it across, because when the window changes from being mostly on one monitor to mostly on the other, the size changes on both monitors). If the display scaling is really not affecting Notepad++ in your installation, there must be some reason; normally, it does.

Plugins in Notepad++ create their own user interface, aside from docking dialogs when docked (and even then, it’s only partially under the control of Notepad++). You would have to make your request to the author of the plugin in question; usually there is a GitHub issues forum.
