chromatic47 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Since changing to widescreen resolution I have done various things to make the screen legible again -- switched to 120 dpi (large fonts), increased various UI element sizes -- and everything looks pretty good except for several programs such as Calculator, ScanDisk, WinIpConfig etc. which all still have 8 point MS Sans Serif hardcoded in their dialogs.8 point is reeeeeally tiny at 1680x1050. Luckily I discovered Resource Hacker and have now created my own versions of the above programs which have nice 10 point Arial Bold in their dialogs. The squinting has stopped. But, just curious, is this kind of modification legal? e.g., can I give large-font versions to vision-impaired friends as gifts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drugwash Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Safest way would be to put up a ResHacker script that takes care of the patching automatically and give that script plus ResHacker (if needed) and a readme.txt as a gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
