I'm using the Fire95 theme and would like to increase the font size. How can I do this? I went to the Fire95 theme to the default.theme file and don't see where I change the font size.

You can change the size of many of the fonts (not just the IceWM fonts) by using the dpi parameter in slim.conf. On a Live system you can just add the boot code"dpi=120" for really large fonts. The default is 96. If you have already installed then edit /etc/slim.conf. An easy way to do this is:
Control Centre --> System (tab) --> Edit Config Files.
The slim.conf file should be in one of the geany tabs. Change the xserver_arguments to include the dpi:Again, a dpi of 120 might be over-kill. Then log out and log back in again to restart to X server.
Control Centre --> System (tab) --> Edit Config Files.
The slim.conf file should be in one of the geany tabs. Change the xserver_arguments to include the dpi:
Code: Select all
xserver_arguments -dpi 120 -nolisten tcp
