Incresase the annoyingly tiny font in Skype chat

Do you also find the small default font in Skype is killing your eyes? Luckily, there is a solution well hidden in the options panel: Tools Menu/Options/IM&SMS/IM Appearance/Change Font.

Much better, eh? Your eyes will be thankful for it.

    Thanks, that's much better - its one of the problems of a new computer, that everything reverts to default and of course I can never remember where I found the settings I wanted.

    Oh God! Forget "like" - how about "love" - the 4 point Tahoma was killing my eyes and I need it for work related stuff... Thank you very, very much for this incredibly useful little post.

    Best,

    same here, thanks. however the rest of the font , for instance, the names of the contacts, are still in Tacoma 3pt. ridiculous!

    beautiful. thanks so much. I didn't have the patience to weed through their menus after I didn't find it where I thought it would be.

    THANK you. I can't believe this is so hard to find.. you'd think accessibility would be a top priority!
