I am just starting to use PhpStorm (version 2021.2.2)
I can see you can easily make the text larger in the editor using ctrl mouse wheel. But is there a way to expand the general application text, e.g. as used in the menus, tool windows, project tree structure, etc?
This would be the equivalent of the View->Appearance->Zoom In option in VS Code.
Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Appearance & Behavior | Appearance | Use custom font -- you can specify custom font size there.
Default settings (Windows 10; no screen scaling or alike; all native 100%):
Custom font size (16):

Texts resolution and Font size is quite low which is putting a lot of strain on my eyes.
I have tried using Edit->Preferences->fonts and colors and then changing the font sizes but its not working not even on restart.
I have also tried correcting the resolution by changing the High DPI Setting and then overriding the scaling performed by Application. In this case the resolution is increased but font becomes even smaller.
Can anyone tell me how to figure out this?
I was facing the same problem of blurried fonts and textures after installing MySQL Workbench 8.0 on my new Windows 10 machine. The following steps worked for me:
step 1: Fix blurried textures. Go to the MySQL Workbench installation folder (Windows start menu, type in "Workbench" and right click on the icon and select open file location). After that, right click "MySQL Workbench 8.0 CE" and select properties, switch to tab Compatibilityand click the button Change high DPI settings. In the lower part of this window, under High DPI scaling behaviourcheck the box (i.e. "override high DPI scaling behaviour") and select the scaling being performed by Application. Click OK to close the window and click on Apply and OK to save the settings and close the window. (screenshot: Properties Window of MySQL Workbench: overriding high DPI scaling by Application)
step 2: increase text size. In MySQL Workbench, click on Edit and Preferences. In the navigation bar on the left-hand side of the preferences window, click on 'Appearance' (located under the group 'Modeling'). On the right-hand side, the lower section lists the fonts (and sizes) of the respective objects. In order to change the font type and/or size, click on an element within the column "Font" and click it again (do not double click!). By default, the following two font type/size defintions are set: Tahoma 11 and Tahoma Bold 12. (screenshot: Workbench Preferences-window)
optional: zoom in. If you still feel unconfortable with the displayed text size, you can - at least in terms ERD models (and maybe some other aspects) - zoom in. Unfortunately, this is not implemented via clicking and holding CTRL and mouse wheel scrolling. Instead you can either use CTRL + + (or - for zooming out) or you can use the magnifier-icons in the "Bird's Eye" pane (usually upper left pane).
Im using the MIPs Mars 4.5 and Im trying to find out how to increase the size of text such as the menu bar etc.. Not the editor but the program itself.
Thanks
While there's no way within Mars to explicitly set the scaling, if you have a high dpi display and have everything in Windows scaled up, Windows' built-in compatibility can fix this.
The runMARS.bat calls javaw.exe -jar Mars4_5.jar
Assuming you've got java in your PATH...
Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath
Right click on javaw.exe, -> Properties
In the Compatibility tab, check Override high DPI scaling behavior
Select System for Scaling performed by
Now, running Mars with runMARS.bat will start it with proper scaling.
If java isn't in your path, do the above steps for whichever executable Mars4_5.jar is using. If you're not sure, the which javaw command might come in handy.
Also, Java9 properly supports hidpi screens, so this won't be a problem.
open mars,
1.click on settings -> editor...
2.select the font-size that you want
3.click on apply
The default zoom level is way too high as you can see in the following screenshot, how can I change it?
I already searched the whole settings but found nothing.
Editor font size can be changed in Preferences | Editor | Colors&Fonts | Font (don't forget to press Save as button to save the default schema as a custom one - predefined schemes can't be modified).
Note also that you can zoom the font in editor. To zoom text using keyboard, you need to assign preferred shortcuts to Increase font size, Decrease font size and Reset font size actions in Preferences | Keymap | Editor Actions; to do the same using mouse, enable Change font size (Zoom) with Ctrl+Mouse Wheel option in Preferences | Editor | General and use Ctrl+mouse wheel to zoom
When I doubleclick an editor tab in PhpStorm 2016.3.2, all tool windows are hidden, including the Project view. When I doubleclick the tab again, the previously open tool windows reappear. Very nifty for quickly utilizing 95% of my 13" laptop display (I should add that I don't really like the Distraction free mode since it is slower and also hides line numbers and other stuff).
Since I prefer working with keyboard shortcuts, I would like to have one that does the same thing, without having to click anything. I tried the Hide active tool window setting, and it's close but no cigar - it doesn't hide the Project view, only the bottom tool window.
Anyone know of any menu commands that mimic the "doubleclick on an editor tab"?
Window | Active Tool Window | Hide All Windows (Ctrl + Shift + F12 using Default keymap)
Is it possible to define a shortcut to increase/decrease size of code in PhpStorm, like what you can do in Notepad++ with CTRL+Mouse Wheel?
Enable CTRL+Mouse Wheel: Settings -> Editor -> Change font size (Zoom) with Ctrl+Mouse Wheel (check).
Specify exact font size: Settings -> Editor -> Colors & Fonts -> Font.
I am able to change my PHP Storm (version 8.0.3 or later) Fonts by
Go to File and then click Settings.
Form Left Side Menu, Select Editor --> General Tab
Check this box under Mouse section Change font size (zoom) with Ctrl_Mouse Wheel (see below pic).
30 Second Demo Here
in new version in this address
file > setting > Editor > general
check this item
Change font size (Zoom) with Ctrl+Mouse Wheel
Also you can use View → Enter Presentation Mode.
Default font size for this mode is 24.
You can change it here: Settings → Appearance → Presentation Mode → Font size
The pre-defined schemes are not editable. To change colors and fonts settings in such a scheme, create its copy.
So to change font size select any scheme of your choice. Save the "scheme" as a copy with a name like "scheme 2".
Now the default font size will be editable.
In MacOS, you should navigate to the PhpStorm -> Preferences -> Editor -> General screen and check/uncheck the "Change font size (Zoom) with Command + Mouse Wheel" checkbox. I unchecked because I don't like it but maybe you do.
Moreover, you can use the finder field in the top left corner of the same PhpStorm -> Preferences dialog. Type the word "size" in this field and you will see a couple of items on the right hand side of the dialog. There are the Editor Actions -> Decrease Font Size and Editor Actions -> Increase Font Size options.
Right click each of them and choose "Add Keyboard Shortcut". Finally, press the Ctrl and numerical plus in case of Increase and Ctrl and numerical minus in case of Decrease and press OK (if you have numerical part of your keyboard).
In PhpStorm 2020.2.1 go to :
Settings -> Editor-> Font
That's it
Switching beetween Editors and zooming text during presentations or so could be complicated.
If you used to do it like in notepad++ than maybe this helps if you use win:
^NumpadAdd::
send,^{WheelUp}
return
