Your Microsoft Windows regional settings will influence how your date/time, numeric, and currency data types appear when you apply formatting options. Windows supports a variety of languages, plus currency and date/time formats for the countries/regions that use those languages.

For example, you might use forward slashes to enter a date value for a Date/Time field (for example, 11/19/2023), but when you apply the General Date display format, it may or may not display the forward slashes, depending on the regional settings for Windows.

This principle also applies to numeric and financial data. You can enter currency amounts that use the English pound symbol (), but Access may display those values in euros, because that is the currency symbol selected for Windows.

Click the tab that contains the settings that you want to modify, and make your changes. For example, to change part or all of a number format, click the Numbers tab and change the setting that you want.

In the 1809 build of Windows 10 I've managed to permanently solve this by going to the system's Language settings, selecting Administrative language settings, clicking Change system locale... and checking the Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support box and then restarting my pc.

Then restart. With this fix, if you are using Consolas font, it seems to lockPowerShell into a small font size. cmd.exe still works fine. As a workaround,you can use Lucida Console, or I switched to Cascadia Mono:

The command to change the codepage is chcp . Example: chcp 1252. You should type it in a Powershell window.To avoid the hassle of typing it everytime (if you always have to change the codepage), you may append it to the program's command line. To do so, follow these steps:

Another reason to get a possibility to adjust spacings on user's site...
As I read the headline, I hoped to get smaller spacings in note list lines. I'm loosing hope to get a compacter display. ?

I really don't understand this. If I had a workshop which adjusted where all my tools were because somebody else thought they needed to be elsewhere, I'd be rather annoyed. It's the same with Evernote. By all means, introduce a way of changing the line spacing and then let the individuals change if they want - but to automatically introduce it as the default setting and to then have your previous lists/notes shown with this new spacing is awful.

I share similar thoughts. This recent constant change of how my notes look and sometimes function (blue internal links anybody?, press '/' to insert an element?, AI Edit, AI Edit, AI Edit) along with A/B and beta testing on users and sometimes buggy releases has been somewhat of a turn off for me personally.

Thanks Boot17. I suppose my only reprieve will be to use a different program. I fully agree with your words on the beta testing and buggy releases. What I cannot understand is how an organisation can consider it acceptable to change the default view of something and expect that the change is going to be fine with everybody. If there was a work-around - in this case having a line spacing pulldown item/default - then fine. But to just change something without having the ability to revert is rather arrogant.

I do feel that typing the above is an entire waste of time in that it will achieve nothing. I would like to be proven wrong, but I expect that Evernote's ears are closed and that the default line spacing will remain without the ability to change via a dropdown and without a tickbox to allow that setting to be your own default.

You're probably right, but we don't know whether Evernote staff read these forums regularly. They do receive feedback here: feed...@evernote.com. They don't respond meaningfully, but it's not meant to be a conversation starter, only an intake port.

I was wondering what was wrong with my EN installation on windows until I found this thread. Get this on Windows, Android and web now. I am not fine with changing the default view for everybody without any notice to or choice by the user. I sent a note to feed...@evernote.com.

I have the same issue on Mac, and it makes my regular use of long lists much more difficult to use and see my lists. I agree with @landymangk in this thread: if you're going to introduce a meaningful formatting change and make it the default, at least give the user a way to adjust it. I'll have to find a way to downgrade and turn auto-updates off again (I had to do this several years back too when every new update brought new bugs and changes, but I thought those days were behind me. It's sad that Evernote seems to be returning to its old ways again).

I'm afraid that Evernote has done this 'upgrade' imposition too often. I'm still annoyed at the 'Press "/" to insert an element' fiasco. Introduced without the option to remove until enough people complained and then the option to remove appeared. Imagine if enough people in the eyes of Evernote hadn't complained. We'd now be suffering this annoying reminder everytime that we clicked 'enter'. Going back in time, the choice of fonts shrunk to a few - all in the name of keeping things uniform across platforms. ie, a reduction in choice was imposed on us.

I was starting to be on my way out due to the v10 UI Revamp from January/February. The 'Press "/" to insert an element', AI Edit Popup, Files Feature, Green to Blue internal links, increased line spacing and probably more (that I can't remember off the top of my head) just confirmed it for me.

However, I need a stable Evernote to be productive. Probably 90% of my usage is for productivity work and 10% usage is for archive/file storage. I'm sure if those numbers were flipped it might be a different story for me. The constant churn, bugs, and beta and A/B testing on users gives me a feeling of loss of control and unproductiveness and some of the recent changes just aren't for me. I feel like I'm on shaky ground and I keep wondering what is going to change or break next? Maybe it works for their bottom line and they should do what is best for them, but I have to do what is best for me too.

I have about 200 notes/projects left in my currently active Evernote account. Still have a lot of old stuff in another EN account (which is already canceled), but maybe I just leave it there as extra backup.

I can buy that at the bottom of a note. But why all the added internal space between lines? More comfy, more ergonomic, blah blah. But quite a number of people are not looking for a cat experience with a note-taking app: something that is comfy and cute to look at it, and completely unresponsive to your wishes. We'd rather have a dog experience: faithful, obedient, loving, and loyal. It may even be homely; but it will go get your sheep when you tell it to.

Maybe some good news here on X. Tagging @janndk to maybe give him some hope that they have a Reliability & Performance team. Time will tell if they live up to their name or if it's just one guy in a basement with a can of Red Bull and some Doritos.

All the fixing of issues and the creation of new features that the Evernote teams may be working on though does not address the issue of "attitude". To write code which changes the appearance of something, and then distribute it as the default setting for everybody - without the option to remove it - that is arrogance. We have had many examples of this over the years from Evernote.

A few weeks ago when the increased line spacing appeared on my screens, I had a monkey on each shoulder. One monkey was shouting that the arrogance-gene within Evernote is strongest while the other monkey was whispering that Evernote will listen to its customers and give them the options. I went with the shouting monkey, left and tansferred my notes to UpNote.

Luckily I don't hear voices of screaming monkeys in my head, however I do share they are too lose with changes, impact on end-users, etc. for this professionally used tool on which I rely heavily. They should introduce a more concrete alpha, beta, pilot, final channel division as far as I am concerned. However I do like the balls they have and the flexibility. Not the quality so much.
