How to change the font size of the editor tabs in Delphi 2010 IDE?


Does anybody knows a way to change the font size of the editor tabs in Delphi 2010 IDE? With my 1080p 22' monitor the font is too small to read and it causes pain in the eyes.

Some notes

  1. It doesn't respect the system's DPI settings so changing that system setting doesn't help, moreover, I'm using 140% DPI already now, and it's Win7.
  2. I couldn't find any existing 3rd party tools to tweak that.
  3. I'll be willing to write an IDE expert to fix that problem if I know how to do it...

Solution

  • There is not an option to change the font size of these elements, but as you say this can be done writting an expert. Some time ago I started to write an Delphi IDE Expert (This project is not finished yet) which allow you to change the apparence of the Delphi IDE (here you can found the Source Code) , try using some of the code of this project to write your own. Check this image which shows the result of modify the code of the project to increase the font of the TIDEGradientTabSet.
