Small Font Size

mike987543 · 9th October 2004, 04:45

I downloaded WinAmp a while ago and was sorely dissapointed in it because the font was excrutiatingly small. I looked for a way to make the interface bigger, but I could find nothing that would help. I was thinking of trying to download it again, but I wanted to check here if the font is still tiny.

which font? playlist, main window, other? also, what screen resolution are you using? if its a really high resolution, try hitting ctrl+D when you have the main window selected.

All windows withing the player. the resolution just above 640 x 480 (i forget what it is). What does CTRL-D do?

It sounds like "Delete" but it's actually "double-size".

Thanks. I just Downloaded WinAmp 5.05 (free version) and it IS larger than before. In the Options menu, Double Size is selected and ghosted out, so I guess it defaulted to the large size. It is much easier to read now. I think I may have tried 2.0 last time.

Thanks again.

sounds like you're using the modern skin now instead of the classic skin which is 'tiny' as you put it since it was designed to run on small resolution screens at the time.

with modern skins you can set the scaling of the window so you can tweak it to be a bit smaller/larger as needed (look under the window submenu [i think that's right since i've not got winamp on this work machine] on the main right click menu)
