SL: Can you scale fonts in the UI really large?

JPamplin · Oct 26, 2009, 08:23 PM

Hi folks,

General UI question: I've got a spare Mac I'm setting up in the living room as an HTPC (Plex is VERY cool, BTW). But I can't figure out how to scale everything really big so it's visible 10 feet away. I've got 128 px icons, check. 16 px is as big as the text will go. But all the menus are regular size.

This was easy to do in Windows - can it be as easy in Snow Leopard?

Thanks in advance,

JP

The blurry fonts won't be so noticeable from 10' away.
