VS2017 Quick Tip: Increase Font Sizes in the IDE

In trying to run some SQL scripts from within VS2017 today I noticed the SQL Results grid was super small!  Ctrl scroll on the mouse or Ctrl + didn’t do anything in this particular window.  It did help for the query window but nothing for the Results window.

I was afraid this would either not be possible or super hard to find the setting for but it wasn’t.  “Quick Launch” to the rescue!  Simply search for “font size” and choose “Environment – Fonts and Colors…”.

“SQL Results – Grid” is the view I needed, so I set it to 14 point font and that did it!

Hope that helps!
