How do I change the font size of Solution Explorer (in Visual Studio)

How do I change the font size used in Solution Explorer? The default font size is too small for me.

Solution 1:

1. Select from the menu Tools -> Options -> Fonts and Colors -> Environment Font.
2. Select a different font name and then change the font size.
3. Apply changes.
4. Restart environment.

Solution 2:

As of now, in Visual Studio 2019/2022, the font size in Solution Explorer is specified in Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors, when Show settings for: is set to Environment and Display items: is set toPlain text.

But what's confusing is that the Size: setting is disabled by default in the UI as it's itself bound to the Windows system font (which is 9 pt Segoe UI in current versions of Windows).

If you change the font it Font (bold type indicates fixed-width fonts): from Automatic to something else though, e.g. the default Segoe UI, you will be now able to change the font size in Size:.

Another option is, with Windows 10, to change the font size for the whole Windows using Settings > Ease of Access > Display.
