Hi, I'm glad you like Scid and find it useful. I'll try to answer to your questions.
1) If you are using Windows, you can use the control panel to set the size of the menu's font: http://www.simplehelp.net/2016/03/21/how-to-increase-the-size-of-the-menu-bars-in-windows-10/ 2) Even if there is a tool for polyglot books in Scid: https://sourceforge.net/p/scid/wiki/TheBookWindow/ the code is old and not developed/supported anymore. To create your own opening book you can use Scid to create a pgn database containing the games for the book and then use directly the native tool (polyglot for .bin books). Just to avoid misunderstandings, opening books are (were?) used with chess engines. If you want to create a repertoire book for you own chess games the right tool is probably a "mask": https://sourceforge.net/p/scid/wiki/HowToUseMasks/ 3) The Scid's code for Nalimov tablebases is also no longer developed/supported anymore. Chess engines are now used to access tablebases. For example the open source engine Stockfish can read Syzygy Tablebases. Engines' options are configured in Scid with tools->analysis engine->edit->configure UCI engine. Bye, Fulvio Mika Kaakinen wrote: > Thank you for Scid. It has a lot of features.
