SQL Server Management Studio Object Explorer - How to increase Font Size?


In SQL Server Management Studio Object Explorer - How to increase Font Size?

From the tool --> Options --> Fonts & Colors we can change fonts for many windows. There is a drop down 'Show Settings For' where we can changes font for text in many area's but I'm not sure how to change the font for the Object Explorer. I thought it would be the tools window drop down selection but that didn't effect the Object Explorer. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Solution

  • You can't change the font of the Object Explorer on it's own but you can change it.

    1. Go to "Tools/Options/Fonts and Colors"
    2. Under the "Show settings for:" dropdown choose "Environment font"
    3. Set the font/fontsize to whatever you want (I use 12 pt Segoe UI)
    4. Click "OK"
    5. Restart SSMS
