Hello,

how may I change font size for Live Expressions view?

None of the options in General | Appearance | Colors and Fonts has effect.

Hello @alessandro.breuza 

Let’s try changing the global display scale at the operating system level so that all text, including the Live Expressions view, appears larger.

Example (Windows 10 / 11):

Right‑click on the Desktop and select “Display settings”.
In the “Scale & layout” section, under “Scale”, choose 125% or 150%.
Apply the change, then restart STM32CubeIDE so it picks up the new scaling.

Hello @alessandro.breuza 

Can you please confirm whether you already tried the following steps?

From the menu: Window → Preferences

Navigate to:
General → Appearance → Colors and Fonts → Debug

Change one or more of these: The detail pane text font ,Modules view details..

Select the entry → click Edit… → choose the new size and font → Apply and Close.

If Live Expressions doesn’t pick it up immediately, try closing and reopening the Live Expressions view, or restarting STM32CubeIDE.

This works.

Unfortunately, other apps I use are not happy with OS scale higher than 100%.

If there is no alternative, I'll accept this solution.
