Hello Opera Community.

I hope I am posting this in the correct location. I have searched and search and cannot seem to find an answer to this... but I'm not even sure I am using the right terms..

How can I increase the font size in Opera's dialogue box that opens when you >RIGHT CLICK<?

Note: I am NOT talking about increasing WEBSITE FONT.. RIGHT CLICK and the window that opens for things like "Spell Check", "Copy/Paste", "open link in new tab"...etc.
How do I make THAT font larger?

Windows 7
Opera Version: 48.0.2685.35 (PGO) - Opera is up to date

My monitor is a 60" TV and I use a wireless keyboard and mouse.. but the TV/computer is on the other side of the room.. anytime I try to correct spelling or cut/copy..of any of the other myriad of things contained in that dialogue box.. it is a bit of a challenge.

Thank you so much for your time.

That is a menu. It should be the same size as any other menu.

Thank you for your response sgunhouse.

Any suggestions on how to change the font size in the MENU? I would like to make the menu fonts larger.

You can't. You can try change Windows DPI and/or font size.

I have been using Chrome for my browser. I installed Opera and went to Google.com and signed into my google account so I could check my email. All of a sudden all of my Chrome settings and bookmarks were applied to Opera without me telling Opera to import anything.

Although you didn't ask anything, I say that Opera import data from default browser doing installation.

I use opera with VPN and it works quite well however it does not mask my ID from my Internet Provider. Is there a way?

Thanks

You don't need to shout.

What sites can see your real IP address? It's not exactly impossible for a site to know that you are using a VPN and also know your IP.

Sorry,I left cap lock on. I get notices from WOW the Internet Provider when I download a torrent movie. Somehow I am identified.

Opera doesn't have a torrent client for its VPN to work on. Opera's VPN works only in Opera.

You should probably either install a VPN extension into Opera, or even a VPN proxy at the system level for a dedicated torrent browser to use, and download using that.
