How To Make CudaText Menu Larger

[Ambassador]

After trying several editors the CudaText editor was discovered a few days ago, and CudaText is terrific for the tasks addressed by this author. However, a means of increasing the size of the CudaText menu options (e.g., File, Edit, Selection, Search, View, Plugins, Options, Help, and the associated sub menus) has not been found. Your instruction regarding increasing the menu text size would be greatly appreciated.

Incidentally; on another topic entirely, why does UVviewsoft choose to host this forum without a standard (some even free like Let's Encrypt, etc.) SSL? While registering with this forum today, numerous warnings appeared stating that the password and all other entries here are open - not secured - by this host.

On non-Windows, you cannot increase that font size.
On Windows: use the option
"ui_menu_themed_font_size"
together with
"ui_menu_themed":true

In the file settings/user.json.

we can migrate to the HTTPS on SourceForge only with side effects-- updating PHP to 7.x . It may break our forum and some of its features. SF.net suggests to update HTTP->HTTPS only with that side effect.

Thank you main Alexey for your reply.
The two lines:

"ui_menu_themed_font_size" : 14,
"ui_menu_themed": true

were added to the file, and the menu's font size did increase. However,

1. The menu line's height did not increase so the menu was partially obscured, and

2. The menu items themselves became written atop each other - the horizontal spacing did not change accordingly

It's as if the associated CSS line height and letter/word spacing remained unchanged which; of course, makes the menu unreadable.

Thanks for the report, I wrote it to the https://github.com/Alexey-T/CudaText/issues/4043
to not forget.

I still see the that main-menu-bar is still of the old height. that is minor thing whcih I cannot solve yet.
but spacing between menu items is okay now.
