Win7 it's at Control Panel -> Display. The default appears to be Smaller-100%. The option is for Medium-125%. It marginally increases the size of the top line in Legacy8 with Quick Access toolbar icons.
But be forewarned - THERE ARE LOTS OF SIDE EFFECTS. Also you have to close all apps, log off, and log back in for it to take effect. Within Legacy8 family view, the children list got reduced from 6 to 4 (per column if that is what you're set for), doesn't seem to affect Pedigree or Descendant views very much, positive increase on Chronology View, larger and wider fonts on Index View meaning more truncated data unless you expand column widths which then means more horizontal scrolling depending on how many data fields you are displaying, no significant difference on the Name List. If you're using the Family View, Children in a Grid List mode, you'll probably have to scroll more - vertically and horizontally. Additional effects outside Legacy. Starting with Desktop - Icons will be larger - and PROBABLY REARRANGED. Can compensate by selecting smaller desktop icons. Might want to do that first and maybe avoid having them rearrange. Most other programs will also have some display features enlarged. Tradeoff is more scrolling - horizontal and/or vertical depending on the app and what's being displayed. Some may need the increased size and find this desirable, but if you're happy with the majority of your apps/displays as they are, you'll probably dislike more than you'll like. -----Original Message----- From: Cathy Pinner [mailto:genea...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2013 9:12 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Quick Access Toolbar But Legacy 7 doesn't have a Quick Access Toolbar. The Quick Access Toolbar is on the Title Bar, not on a Ribbon. The equivalent to the Legacy 7 Toolbar is the My Toolbar Ribbon Anyway they can all be made bigger with Windows options. I just can't recall exactly where the option is in Win 7. The Customisation of the Toolbar in Legacy 7 allowed you to choose different icon sizes and that has gone in Legacy 8.
