Hi all. This is the weirdest thing: For some reason, when I'm running VS 2008 in XP, and I use the 'Advanced Appearance settings' control panel to change the Size of menu items in all applications, Visual Studio 2008 is unaffected by the change. (That's Control Panel -> Display -> Appearance tab -> Advanced -> select 'Menu' from the item drop-down, and change the Font size) Anyone else noticed this? Is anyone aware of a fix?
Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure why the settings from Advanced Appearance Settings don't affect VS2008, but you can change the menu item settings (and many more) from within VS2008.
From VS2008, go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors.
In the Show settings for: dropdown, select Environment Font. Make the changes here as you see fit.
