Why is the title font in my Windows 10 programs enormous?
Recently, the title bar on my Windows 10 programs has been displaying in a larger font size. For example, if I fire up Notepad, it looks like this:
Where it says "Untitled - Notepad," the font is MUCH larger than what I'm used to. Any idea why?
Looking through my Display settings, the only thing I notice is that I have everything scaled by 250%. But that is the recommended setting for my monitor resolution, and it's been that way for a long time.
Thanks for any suggestions!
UPDATE: I tried turning off the 250% magnification. Everything got smaller, but the title text is still much larger than usual -- basically a scaled down version of my earlier screenshot.
You can adjust the title bar height and width. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics
registry key. And now change the value of CaptionHeight
and CaptionWidth
values. Their values will be in this formula -15*pixels
.
Then sign out/in or reboot. Restarting explorer.exe is not enough.
Hope that helps
