Description Alex Blewitt CLA 2014-10-16 06:08:10 EDT
IntelliJ has a 'presenter mode' which can be used to up all the fonts in the IDE which makes it suitable for presenters

http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/intellij-idea-viewing-modes.html#d541196e193

This is possible in Eclipse at the moment if specifying the font in appearances, but this needs to be done in all places (system dialogs, java files, text files, xml files etc.)

One way of doing this might be to create a 'presenter theme' which can be used to switch between them, but optionally having a button toolbar or command which would toggle between presenter mode and the original theme would be a functionality win for people giving presentations.

Even better would be if the project explorer / package explorer could use a resizable font.
Comment 2 Lars Vogel CLA 2020-06-18 06:33:35 EDT
I think a more general solution would be to make the tree fonts grow. I mark this a duplicate, if the solution from Bug 540299 is not sufficient we can create follow up bugs.

This isn't about requesting a different tree font. This is about having a presenter theme that sets /all/ the fonts necessary to do presentation -- UI fonts, source fonts etc -- and not just the ability to change one font.

Until there's a "Presentation" theme then this bug shouldn't be closed.

What about adding the option to increase all fonts at once via the Color and Font preference page via a slider?
Comment 5 Alex Blewitt CLA 2020-06-22 09:17:58 EDT
It's not just about a slider for font size. IntelliJ and Xcode both have a 'Presenter' mode which sets a number of things - from view layouts to font choices/sizes/settings - that you just want to turn on in one click, and not drag to resize fonts to a specific size each time.
