Gimp Font & Mode and Opacity Box size. - daiappy - 07-12-2021
[attachment=6353]
Hi - can anyone help? I don't know what the names of these Gimp parts of the toolbox are called that I've circled in red. Does anyone know how to make the Font and the Mode & Opacity boxes larger, like you can enlarge the tool icon sizes and the interface themes found in preferences. I use them a lot and they are so small I keep adjusting them the wrong way with the mouse. I read somewhere a thread on this subject from five years ago but it didn't seem to have a clear answer. Has someone found how to make them larger since then, please? Charles.

If you want to adjust only this, you will need to edit the gimprc file

Or if you don't want to get dirty hands, find a theme which suits your needs like https://www.deviantart.com/migf1/art/Clearlooks-Gimp-2-10-1x-Color-Hinted-Themes-v1-2-846265163
Google "GIMP theme" or "GIMP theme deviantart" you'll find countless themes out there

You can get an immediate change if you go Edit -> Preferences -> Interface -> Style and untick Use compact sliders. https://i.imgur.com/J0auoEt.jpg
That returns you to a Gimp 2.10.14 (and earlier) format where the rate of change on the slider depends on top-of-the-slider / center-of-slider
Otherwise, the depth of the sllder is dependent on the font size: A comparison of both: https://i.imgur.com/LlqWEnj.jpg Useful if you are using a 4k monitor and the interface is small.
There is a plugin to assist changing menu text size "Change menu letters & other icons.py"
