[REQUEST] Make text in convo window bigger than defualt sizes by Lukeyy19 on 08-14-2006 at 10:05 PM

Hi all,
Ok at night sometimes i want to watch TV while on WLM but my bed is on the other side of the room to the PC so laying there to watch TV i have to decrease my screen resolution and change the font size to read the convos.

so what im hoping is possible is a scrpt that will let me make the text bigger than 14 or 16,  so i could have it something like 30 or whatever i need to see it, without changing resolution.

i would be very gratefull if this is possible and someone could produce it, thanks :)

No I don't have an answer for them =/

But You can also do some other weird stuff
Ctrl+1 - Single Spacing on current line
Ctrl+2 - Double Spacing on current line
Ctrl+5 - 1.5 Spacing on current line
Ctrl+R - Right-align current line
Ctrl+L - Left-align current line

WLM - Conversation window: Tools > Text Size > Largest
Browsers: View > Text Size > Largest

anyways, Lukeyy19...

for you specific problem there might be a far more elegant but fancy solution. Why not hook up your PC to your TV? In that way you can zap to the channel to see your PC screen in front of you in bed if needed.

To do this you need a graphics card which is capable of outputting a TV-signal (almost always present in laptops).
