System Font Size Changer1.3.1.26

Windows has many hidden options that can be used to change the way it looks and feels. However, if you don't want to go through the trouble of browsing the web to read articles on how to do this, the next solution is to turn to specialized utilities.System Font Size Changer, for instance, gives you quick access to the desktop customization panel to make text bigger when it comes to the title bars, menus, message boxes, palette tittles, icons and tooltips of all built-in Windows utilities as well as any applications. It was actually developed because the OS integrated font size changing options was removed in Windows 10 Creators Update.

Increase text size using a portable application

The lightweight app doesn't have to be installed but it cannot work unless you have the latest version of .NET Framework enabled. It gets launched in a clean and intuitive interface, and the first thing it does is offer to create a backup of the current registry settings related to the font. This way, you can rollback anytime to the original configuration.The options are straightforward. The only way things could've been improved is through a preview for each selected setting to demonstrate exactly what can be changed. After choosing an option, move the slider to the right to increase the size while keeping in mind that the leftmost point (0) represents the default setting. Therefore, even if you haven't created a backup before using System Font Size Changer, you can still rollback to the original Windows font settings by moving all sliders to 0.

Change the title bar, menu, message box, palette title, icon, and tooltip

Besides making font text bigger, the app can also make it bold. It has a dark and white theme available for the interface, and it can also save any custom font configuration to file. Afterward, you can simply double-click a .reg file to apply a preferred profile, without resorting to this tool. Logging off and on again is required to commit the new modifications, which means closing any ongoing projects so you won't lose unsaved work (it's still faster than rebooting, though).Settings were quickly applied on the latest Windows version in our tests. Taking everything into account, System Font Size Changer is a simple and practical tool to help you increase the font of various system objects. Most importantly, it has rollback options.
