Question - How do I shrink VLC Font Size?

Postby xpanther206 » 30 Jul 2022 08:44

Hello,

I recently purchased a new computer that runs Windows 11. I am a longtime fan of VLC Media Player and it was a priority program to install, but I'm finding it hard to use because for whatever reason, the interface fonts are huge. I've tried to fix it via Tools > Preferences, to no avail, and right clicking the playlist and adjusting the display size only shrinks it only a little bit.

I've seen some online support for how to shrink subtitles, but here I'm just looking to make all of the font sizes match those of the menu (Media, Playback, Audio, etc).

Thanks,

Quite strange. Is VLC the only program to show this behaviour on your Windows 11 system ?

Yes it is, as far as I can tell.

The problem fixed itself today upon reboot.

I just had this issue myself on Windows 11, and a reboot also fixed it for me.

I wish I had it. My track list is illegible. I just click randomly and use next/previously to find the file. Windows 11. Display set to 125% (recommended).
