Everything v1.50.1254a (64-bit) can't set Preview pane font

Post by SuperDude »

When I try to set a specific font to be used in the Preview pane, nothing happens. The Fonts and Colors window remembers and shows my desired font, but it doesn't actually use it.

I guess that will only work for preview made by Everything itself
but most preview modules come from system wide installed Windows Explorer previewers.

I guess that is one of the GUI options that is still under development.

If you want to preview plain-text files in a different font(size): the Windows preview uses the Notepad fon setting for that:
- Exit Everything (right-click the Everyhing icon in the system tray and choose Exit)
- Change the fontsize in Notepad
- Exit Notepad
- Start Everything.

That Notepad trick worked. Thank you!
