      Hi,

      How do I change the size of the text on tabs? I just installed Win 10 and , on this OS, reading the tiny text size on tabs really hurts my eyes. Wasn't an issue on Win 8.

      THX!

        (good thing I bookmarked this) ...

        If you have windows 7, you can change the Windows Message Box setting and thereby increase the tab font, and the Personal Bookmarks font in Opera.

        Just right click on an empty part of the Desktop, click on "Personalize," Click on "Window Color" at the bottom towards the middle of the screen, then click on "Advanced Appearance Settings," then you'll see a square/rectangle come up to your left with a number of adjustable items. It may be initially set at Desktop, but you can change that, by clicking on the upside down triangle to find "Message Box." [You might also want to adjust the size of "Menu" to make the Opera menu more readable]. Now once you change Message box,[you can change the font, the size, the color, bold, ital., etc]. After you make your change, make sure you click on "Apply," and also then click on "save changes" on the square/rectangle to the right (which had the link you clicked on "Advanced Appearance Settings). Then close the Opera browser and open it again. Of course, you can change settings back to what you had easily enough. (Now the Windows adjustment operates across-the-board for all Windows applications, so you have to make sure the changes are okay for you outside of Opera).

          Remember, that was for Win7. Perhaps Win10 has a similar option.
