How can I increase the font size in the "Find in Files" window in PHPSTORM?

How can I control the font size of the font for the "Find in Files" window? I've looked everywhere except the right place.

I'm using the Material theme UI, not sure if that complicates things.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi there,

As far as I know you cannot increase the font size for specific window/popup only.

In general that would be "Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Appearance & Behavior | Appearance"

P.S. Yes. Material Theme UI may cause certain issues (at very least it did it often in the past). To check that: disable the plugin and restart the IDE and then check how it looks/works with one of the default bundled themes.

P.P.S. Speaking in general: it always makes sense to illustrate such issues with a screenshot or two to give more info/context.

Settings | Appearance & Behaviour | Appearance did the trick thanks.

Unfortunately, as you said it affects more than just the "Find in Files" window, but thems the breaks I guess!

Regarding P.P.S Yeah that's a fair point. Here's a pic of what I meant.

Based on what I see on the screenshot:

1. You have HiDPI monitor. Could be 4K resolution with scaling (1.5 or even 2.0). I only have QHD one (2560x1440), which is normal DPI/no scaling.

2. The font size in the Editor (the file content preview area) is maybe 2x larger than the GUI elements.

 

It's hard to say what may be wrong here without seeing the rest of the IDE:

  • is it just here where such a disproportion is present (e.g. IDE fails to determine the right scaling factor  or fails to scale some elements only)...
  • or maybe you have just set the Editor font larger on purpose ("Settings/Preferences | Editor | Font" or "Settings/Preferences | Editor | Color Scheme | Color Scheme Font")
  • or perhaps you have increased it accidentally (e.g. accidentally using Ctrl+MouseWheel -- can be enabled/disabled via "Settings/Preferences | Editor | General | Change font size with Ctrl+Mouse Wheel in")
    (IF it was accidental: "View | Reset Font Size")

 

BTW: in the next major 2023.1 version the IDE will be able to zoom the whole IDE (GUI elements and code/text) with Ctrl+MouseWheel (useful during presentations for example)
