Font Size

The new CCleaner has font size that is so small I can hardly see it. There is no way to enlarge it, apparently. Is there a solution for this? I see someone else commenytd on this also.

At this time, the only way to do so would be by increasing the Zoom/scaling in the Windows Display Properties.

This article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/make-text-and-apps-bigger-c3095a80-6edd-4779-9282-623c4d721d64 offers information on how to do so.

Please consider this as an option.

Using Windows Zoom/scaling in the Windows Display Properties is really not an option as it affects all the other programs as well.

Oddly enough, there are several places in the registry that store quite a bit of information,

including (but not limited to):


Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Piriform\CCleaner


Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Piriform\CCleaner


but nowhere is there "fontSize".

Unfortunately, while this has been considered, it is not an option that we can offer at this time due to the way the software is constructed (changing the font size would break basically every bit of the CCleaner display, in short).

It's being looked into for future major versions of CCleaner, but I do not have an 'ETA' I can offer, and until then, an external solution such as the Zoom/scaling system would be the only way to increase the font size.

It would be nice if CCleaner worked like so many other programs where you don't have to fiddle around with Windows zoom/scaling globally at all. Instead we'd be able to just modify the CCleaner shortcut (and actually main .exe file) itself in 'Properties->Compatibility->Change High DPI Settings' but that does NOT work at all in Windows 10!

CCleaner (and parent company) are required to be ADA compliant under TItle III and if any government agencies are using the software, or CCleaner or parent company have contracts with government agencies, they are required to be ADA and 508 compliant. Both of which require the ability to increase font size throughout the application. This is easily achieved in the application with little additional effort. The font size currently is akin to 6 pt, minimum (per government usability requirements) is 12 pt = 16 px = 1 rem. It would be a huge benefit to CCleaner and all of its related products to increase their inclusivity and accessibility to ensure access for all individuals.
