Tech Tip of the Day:
The setting that makes everything on your screen look larger or smaller is
called your "resolution." This is not your font size. Font size is a
setting that just affects the characters that are typed/shown.
The relative size of your windows is conversely affected by the size of your resolution. Increasing your resolution to larger numbers will make everything on your monitor appear smaller. This is due to resolution being the number of pixels your computer is fitting on the screen.
Say a pixel is a block, your program is set to be 10 blocks high by 10 blocks wide. If your resolution is 10x10 that means the program takes up the entire range of the screen and so it is really big. if you increase the resolution of your screen to 100x100(these numbers are not anywhere near actual resolutions, just used for simplified purposes) then your program is still only using 10x10 of the resolution, and will be relatively smaller on the screen.
