Switching between groups of font sizes for projector vs actual development?

Looking for suggestions here. I use DataGrip when teaching database students at Loyola University New Orleans. I do a lot of demos on a projector, so naturally enough I have to blow up the font sizes for that.

Then when I have some heads-down work I want smaller font sizes to let me see more of the action.

Ideally, I could switch the entire UI between “Presentation” and “Development." Is this something I could do with themes or custom settings?

Also, I have like zero idea which panels use which fonts or how to change them.

Hi, 

You may take advantage of the Zoom IDE option to achieve your goal

OK I had to hunt around a bit to locate the “Find Action…” here that you're showing. I'm on DataGrip 2025.1.3 on MacOS (15.5 fully patched).

Zooming should be a good answer, thank you!

Unfortunately the zooming often leaves me with some panels that are rather odd. Clearly the typography has some glitches and probably arises from choosing bad fonts. I'm seeing at least six different fonts/sizes poking around my interface, it's a challenge to figure how to adjust which one…

I noticed the font size is disproportionate compared to the text size in other sections. I tried to replicate your current view by setting the zoom IDE to 150%, but the Files are showing okay, and I am not observing glitches of any sort. 


You can provide us copy of your schema, and we'll see if we can reproduce it.

It looks like the File Pane is having the most problems…

I might have sized everything too small. I am looking at DataGrip at Zoom IDE 100% and the typefaces are kinda small.

I was really suspecting this was a MacOS/Java font rendering issue, but if you can help that would be great. The Zoom IDE option, which I hadn't noticed, already solves most of my need.

We have tested it again, but this time on a Mac. We couldn't reproduce it and therefore, asking for additional info. Please specify your current Theme and font type / font size in File | Settings | Appearance & Behavior | Appearance. By the way, this is where you set the font for all the IDE sections, meaning the font should remain consistent across all sections as far as its size and type are concerned.

Aleksandr, thank you so much for your attention to this inconvenience.  Let me give you the full rundown of the Appearance settings.

Theme is “High Contast Blue.” Editor color scheme is “High Contrast Light Theme” and it is marked “default.” 

All accessibility options are OFF

The UI options are compact mode ON, show full path OFF, project colors in main toolbar ON, keep popups for toggles ON, drag and drop on Alt OFF, smooth scroll ON, mnemonics in controls ON, mnemonics in menu OFF, icons in menu items ON, no background images.

Tree View options are off.

Tool Window options — tool window bars ON, all others OFF.

Antialiasing: IDE Greyscale, Editor Greyscale. 

THERE'S A WEIRD LOOK TO EDITOR ANTIALIASING, see the screenshot. Why is it smaller?

Yes, I was able to catch the font type and size mismatch in the Editor drop-down under Antialiasing. The more you zoom in / out, the more the size difference becomes noticeable. I am assuming that the zooming doesn't apply to this section. I have reported it on our tracker:

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/DBE-23612/Font-size-doesnt-change-when-zooming-in-out

However, I still could not replicate the glitches as per your first screenshot
