i just install Zorin 12 and i was wondering if i can raise the system fonts, i raised all others with "zorin appearance " but the ones for the launcher, the task bar, the information and confirmation boxes , are just to small ; is there any way i can enlarge them?

Hi, on hols so unable to check this but one place you can start to look is by installing 'dconf-tools' via terminal or search for 'dConf Editor' in Software and install. There is 'font scaling setting in there. Try 1.25 instead of default 1.0 Also check settings in Tweak Tool which you will need to install (gnome-tweak-tool)

Hi, dConf again to the rescue. Search for desktop | peripherals | mouse there should be a setting in right pane set to 32 pixels. Change it to 64 and either log out or reboot for it to stick. Just to warn you that there is a bug that makes the pointer small outside the active app and is not just a Zorin issue.

well i search every where but the closest i can find is : org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.mouse ; and the only choices are left hand, natural scroll, and speed ; the version of my dconf-editor is 3.18.2-1 . is that what you have or do i need to look for another one
