I'm sure you already noticed it but with a 3840x2160 screen resolution, the font of the AGS editor is very very small. Luckily, it's possible to increase font size in the script editor but it's not possible to change/increase font size in the room editor, character editor, properties, and all the rest of the program. I don't if this has been already planned (or maybe it's possible and I don't know?). I searched the forum but I didn't find any discussion regarding the editor font.
Is there any plan for this?
Thanks

Working on a 3440x1440 screen, I do agree sizes are quite small. To be honest I couldn't even find the setting to change the editor's font size. :-) I think for the script editor, as a wishlist thing, a colour scheme changer would be great too (so I can set it to dark mode at night). Not really a high priority though.  :)

In script editor you can do Ctrl + Mouse wheel to change font size, this seem to be similar among the text editors today. The problem is that it does not sync between the script panels and does not save between the sessions.

Dark theme is already supported, download link is in the release post (under "For Editor" spoiler).

That's great - I'll take a look now. Thank you! (As always!)

I think we can't change the color in the code editor due to some limitation on the Scintilla we use, only change the color of everything else.

But the size of things, it may be possible or change the DPI config on Windows properties. In wine I know there's a way (I use it) but I don't remember on Windows.

Themes do change the colors in the code editor, that was probably the main purpose for the theme support.

Working well over here! (Still rocking the AGS Editor on my Mac  ;) )

Holy shit! I didn't knew about it! I literally never tried the dark mode before. I gotta use it now! Thanks!

Or maybe an automatic scaling?

There are considerations about upgrading to .NET 5 I think, but ignoring that... It was an interesting docs to see :)

Ok, I guess for now I'll have to stick to the Windows 10 magnifier :)
