How do I make the DF window larger?
« on: November 23, 2011, 09:18:42 am »

Dragging the edges of the window does make it larger, but it doesn't actually make the text/images larger. Some help would be appreciated, here.

That just leaves me with the exact same-sized images in the corner of the screen.

Ah, yes. You can use the mousewheel to zoom in or zoom out.

Mousewheel (or its equivalent) should allow you to zoom in and out regardless of window size.
