Hello, I'm new to AGS. I'd like to ask if it's possible to change the user interface font size because fonts appear kinda small on my screen and they hurt my eyes. I'd like to make them bigger but I can't find how to do it. Can somebody help?

The editor doesn't seem to have a font size setting, at least none I know of.

In general there's three ways to fix small text:

1. in the Windows 11 Settings app, go to Accessibility -> Text size and increase it (this increases the font in most places, not the project tree though)
Alternatively, increase the Scale in the Display settings, this will affect everything, not just text

2. lower your desktop resolution

3. get a bigger monitor, or use an external one if you're on a laptop

In my opinion, option 3 is by far the best one, because it doesn't screw with app layouts. If you turn up the scaling too much, you'll end up with buttons being off-screen and text being cut off, which is no fun at all.
If you have trouble reading small text, you'll need a bigger monitor in the long run anyway.

There's an option to set Font and size for the script editor, in File -> Preferences -> Advanced tab.

Also, Editor supports "Color Themes", they may be got here:

Darker themes sometimes may be easier to work with.
