Note that this is NOT the dialog box, but the box that opens up in the top right corner of the file window.
I've checked the following without finding an answer. Right now the text is very tiny and difficult to make out!

: Couldn't find any instructions to adjust the font size.
Tools in Menu -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors
: Couldn't find the 'Find and Replace' control.
Enlarging the font of the editor does make the font larger, but it doesn't work because the size of the editor font becomes huge before the control's font is readable.
So your best option might be to go into settings and change window.zoomLevel to 1. This will zoom in the window and should give you the effect your looking for. I don't believe you can change menu fontSize etc.
Press ctrl, use mouse scroll to increase the overall size of text area and find and replace window. Now go to tool->options->font to set default size for text area only.
I use a dark theme, and I have my code "peek" background set to a dark color as well.
In VS2017, instead of the older dialog window you'd get when modifying a breakpoint, you get the settings inline instead, similar to how the "peek" bits look.
However, I can't find a way to change the text color of this area, so now I am trying to squint at dark grey text on a dark purple background. It seems as though the "peek" background color is shared with the breakpoint settings.
Is it possible to change this color?
Here's an image to show you what I mean:
The font size in the editor in WebStorm is too puny for my taste (or my eyes, I should say).
I tried to change it via Settings > Editor > Colors & BFonts > Font, which does have a "Size" edit box in the "Editor Font" section, but it is readonly.
So how can I "up" the font size? I also (first) tried Ctrl+mouseWheel, but that didn't lead to any joy in Mudville, either.
Change font size with MouseWheel
(called "zooming in the editor")
To enable changing font size in the editor
Open the Settings/Preferences dialog, expand the Editor node, and
click General.
Make sure that the setting Change font size (Zoom) with
Ctrl+MouseWheel is enabled.

For change font and font size create your own theme, then you can edit all font things
Fonts color settings: be sure you uncheck inheritance checkbox with "use inheritance attributes"
P.s pictures from phpstorm but it must work for webstorm also
You need to save a custom scheme in order to modify the font size.
Settings > Editor > Colors & Fonts
Select Save as... and name it however you please.
Once you have saved your custom scheme, you are now able to increase the font size.
In Ubuntu, go to:
File > Settings > Editor > Font
File / Settings / General
Check "Change font size (Zoom) with Ctrl + Mouse Wheel
Confirmed fix for WebStorm 10.
Go to Setting
Next In font you can change
Actual for WS 2018.x
Change font-size for interface
Change font-size for code area
This answer is for WebStorm version 2021.2.2
On the top right-hand side of the WebStorm editor you will see a setting gear icon as shown in the picture below or you can simply use the keyboard short cut Ctrl+Alt+S
After you tap on the setting option a window will open with all the different settings options, out of which you need to select the Editor option which will have the font option as shown in the image below
Now you can change the font as per your choice,
I am going to take a step ahead and include how you can increase the zoom size of the editor as well.
When I installed webstorm I was not able to increase the zoom via mouse wheel or by using the Ctrl + keyboard shortcut and this setting is in the same editor setting menu
So once you are inside the setting window go to Editor > General and in the general section you will find an option to increase the zoom via mouse wheel make sure you click apply or Ok once you select this option for the setting to take place
To add something here for the developers using the Material Theme UI. Under the Editor => Font, you'll font a link, where you can make the actual font customizations under the section called "Editor > Color Scheme > Color Scheme Font." Just in case you won't be confused as me when changing the Editor > font size, nothing happens.
Hi I am trying to convert an existing WC_TABCONTROL window with TCS_OWNERDRAWFIXED so that I have full control of its appearance.
But it seems all I can draw is the tab headers and even there I do not have much control on how the borders are drawn around tab page as well as tab headers.
Can someone point me to some material that explain how to custom draw, tab items and tab pages. I need to have control on how both the background and borders are drawn.
I am using Visual Studio 2005, C++, and I have a tabcontrol with a couple tabs. I have changed the color of each tab to have a back color of Transparent, to match the color of the rest of the program (Control grey), however the color behind the text for the title of the tab is white. Is there any way to change this?
A tab control draws itself according to the currently selected windows theme. Which ignores a custom color. This isn't something you ought to change, you typically want to honor the user's attempt to style the windows according to her selected preference.
If you really do want to override it then you can use custom drawing, the TCS_OWNERDRAWFIXED style flag and the WM_DRAWITEM message. Beware that drawing with a transparent color isn't going to work.
