Hello, I´m starting to use ICEM CFD, my first problem: the letter of the main menu (file, edit,view...) and the main toolbar (geometry,mesh...) is too small, can I change it?
Thank you. |

It uses the font sizes of your system...
If you adjust your system font sizes, the ICEM CFD sizes will keep up... It used to also use colors, etc. but that caused too many issues with people who had white system text. |

Alright, I guess due to problems we had with system text (particularly white system text), we now control the text.
For the message window, you can adjust the size with this replay file (or just type it in the message window). Note the line with the # is to turn it back again, just move the hash mark to the other “set use_font” lins… This is not saved with the settings, so you will need to do it each time… Or just restart to reset the normal text size. global mess_frame bigfont normalfont set use_font $bigfont # set use_font $normalfont $mess_frame.text configure -font $use_font If you want to change the GUI (menu’s, DEZ, etc.) you will need to change the file: ai_env/techTk/builder.tcl I attached the changed file. If you want to change back to our normal font you can change line 122 (in the changed file) from: if 0 { to if 1 { It is always a good idea to save the original file before overwriting this file. Again, I recommend the ml.exe editor for playing with these tcl code files. Have fun. |

Just an FYI... I got some question about if this builder.tcl file was still good for R14... I just tested it and got no errors... But just to be safe, if you replace your file, always rename the old one (like builder_original14.tcl) just in case you want to go back.
But for anyone with a text editor, you can dig thru the file and pretty easily figure out what it does. You can replace the $normalfont with $bigfont or $boldfont or any of the variables you see at the start. This file has the "DefaultFont" set to $bigfont Quote:
You can even custom define the fonts if you like... Quote:
You can also set options like "LabelJustify" "TextEntryWidth", etc. You will also see that you can set the sizes based on the "Select Icon Size" Display setting... Maybe you want to make the large text only appear if someone sets the ICONS to Huge... (I should have done it that way). The ICEM CFD UI is tcl code and very very flexible.

I think things have changed quite a bit in new versions, in the latest version on date for fixing font size of icemcfd, the following changes worked layout.tcl change line 34 from "set SmallScreen 0" to "set SmallScreen 1" builder.tcl change lines 109-125 for all arguments to $boldfont (some of them were $nonboldfont) and launch as icemcfd -log log.txt from terminal |

Hello everyone,
Recently I did a windows system reboot of my laptop and then installed ICEM CFD again. When I try to work with ICEM I had a problem with the font size for all commands and icons, they are too small, and also the font size to replay scripts have the same problem. Can anyone help me with that please ? I would like to increase the font size. This problem is just with ICEM. For Fluent and Workbench window all is ok. |
