Hello,

Can someone point me to where I adjust the size of the font that is on the side view panels within Spyder 

Please see the attached image to see what is wrong as I don't even really know how to describe what is wrong.

I've tried changing the DPI and even reinstalled Anaconda but Spyder did not reset to it's normal settings.

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

We don't have an option for that. And even if we had it, there's still a problem with our icons being very small. That's why I suggest you to check the settings provided by Windows for this. There could be the problem.


Cheers,
Carlos

Just in case some additional information helps. My XPS 13 9365 has a High DPI touchscreen and the icons look very similar in Spyder 5.3.0. The DPI is 3200 x 1800 and it uses 200 % Scaling and Layout by default. If an external monitor is attached with a standard resolution of 1920 x 1080 and 100 % scaling it displays as expected. 

My guess would be changing the Windows Display Scaling from 100 % to 200 % should make the icons look twice as large as it does in most applications. In the case of Spyder, the icons stay the same size and therefore look very small.
