Add the ability to increase font size within ILLiad without impacting other application
The current font size in the staff interface is not adjustable within the application. It would be useful and decrease eye strain if the font could be adjusted to user preferences, Regular, Large or Extra Large maybe? When the Windows font size is adjusted, it affects all other programs making them too large.

This should be prioritized as an accessibility issue. Please consider!

I haven't done ILL in 15 years, now filling in for someone and I'm really struggling with the small font! Good grief! please make this adjustable!

I had my work computer recently updated to Windows 10. The ILLIad font size is about a 6 or 7 which is very hard to read, especially the TN.. Enlarging the font size for everything else does not work: the font is still too small. ILLiad needs adjustable font sizing within the application to accommodate people with different visual abilities. We use ILLiad every day so this user-friendly this should be a higher priority.

I had my work computer recently updated to Windows 10 and found that your instructions doesn't work because the setting doesn't exist. I am only able to change by "Scale and Layout" which changes the size of everything.

I just looked for this "make text bigger" setting on my Windows 10 machine per the linked articles from Sara, and it's not an option. I can only "Make everything bigger"; there's no option for making just the text bigger. a brief internet search seems to indicate the "make text bigger" setting may have gone away in an update of Windows ca. 2017 or 2018.

I'm not old or visually impaired, but the font size in ILLiad is small. I don't want to make everything in Windows larger, just ILLiad. Can't ILLiad have adjustable text sizes within the client itself? If I make ILLiad full-screen, the text stays the same size.

Hello All, as of ILLiad 9.0 you can now change your Windows font sizes and it will persist into ILLiad. For more information, see the ILLiad Release Notes (https://support.atlas-sys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011811474-ILLiad-9-0-Release-Notes) and the ILLiad FAQ (https://support.atlas-sys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011099513-ILLiad-9-0-FAQ).

We also just upgraded to ILLiad 9.0.3, and the font size does strain the eyes, especially the TN number at the top. Why the dramatic decrease in size of the TN number? Would be much appreciated if next upgrade includes increased or adjustable font size. Thanks!

I just upgraded to the new 9.0 and I am having trouble with the colors. I have checked out each skin to see one is better over the other, but I didn't find one that made it better. My co-worker and I have trouble with the size of the font. Increasing size on the monitor not only makes it larger, but also blurry!

So I know Atlas has responded that we can use "display settings" in Windows to increase font size, but the problem I found with that is that it increases the font / icon size for everything on desktop/window, when it's only ILLiad that is so teeny tiny. I don't need my Outlook increased to 125% or Word/Excel ... just ILLiad. (And FF and Chrome allow you to adjust size without affecting entire desktop). Honestly, if you'd just increase the font of the TN at top of screen I'd been much happier.

My old-ish eyes using progressive lenses would definitely appreciate an Extra Large setting. :)

Ditto! Font size is very problematic! When the magnification is used, then words/fields do not align properly.

I'm not older or visually impaired (I have 20/20 eyesight!) but man is it still too small for me.

This really should be an option! We have too many students and staff working in ILLiad for there to be just one size.

Agree! The change between 8.7.2 and 9.0 was awful ... TN across the top of the window got soooo small
