This is a decent idea, but it has pitfalls. I could explain the reasons why, but they are very technical.
You will find, though, that if you're not careful when you modify the dialog box with ResHacker, you'll lose some of the UI. ResHacker assumes that the UI is static, so that the dialog box displays only what you see in the DLL. However, dialog boxes can contain controls that are set up as the program runs. You could re-size the dialog box or controls in ResHacker and then find that you've unintentionally hidden another part of the UI that you didn't see. I discovered this the hard way, and therefore gave up on ResHacker. If you just change fonts, you should be OK; just don't change the size of anything. I have no idea why FM engineers haven't changed the index marker dialog or the font size. I think it has to be no more than a 10-minute job.

But if that is not possible, you can save your eyesight by getting hold of ResHacker.exe at http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/ and using it to modify the characteristics of the marker dialog boxes. The file you want to modify (after backing it up!!) is fmdlg.dll in your installation\fminit folder. Look for EDIT_MARKERS and INS_MARKER and change the font size to something comfortable (I use 10 instead of the default 8). If you have Show Dialog selected, it's easy to drag the borders of the dialog box and its various components to a larger size as well. _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
