Fonts

I've been able to change my font style in commentaries / Lexicons / Dictionaries but not in the Power Lookup. Is there a way to do this, or has Logos put a restriction on where we can change fonts?

Also, is there anything coming down the pipes (or tubes) regarding colours in Logos?

No there is no way to change the user interface font, which is the font used in all the menus and tools and Program Settings and such. It's not that they "put a restriction" in, as though it were some kind of artificial limitation preventing us from being able to do what we would otherwise naturally be able to do. Rather, it's that Power Lookup (and other tools) don't use the resource layout engine, where the smarts to use the changeable fonts is located. They've never implemented it for tools. It's not that they can't, it just never occurred to them that people would care about changing the font used for the user interface. Kind of like how you can change the fonts all you want in a Word document, but you can't change the default system font that is used by Word to display menus and dialog boxes and such. Logos Tools are considered part of the user interface and are not resources for reading.

Logos might be able to be appealed to for a different approach in the future, however.

I haven't heard anything about changes regarding colors, though I know it has been requested. For example, here is one such request. And here is another. None has gotten critical mass to be responded to by a Logos employee yet, though. So go vote for one of these if you want to add to the pressure.

Appreciate your reply Rosie. I've put in for the various colours back in November of 2012 and put another vote in tonight. :-)
