This is indeed updated when you open SQL Developer, so if the product is open when you make the changes then they are lost when you close SQL Developer. <BR/><BR/>So the process is, have SQL Dev closed, then update the ide.properties, then start up SQL Developer.<BR/><BR/>SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05034153756804835865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23290357.post-12662545009387458862007-09-25T08:42:00.000+00:002007-09-25T08:42:00.000+00:00Hmm...

I do lots and lots of presentations and generally I DO increase my font size dramatically inside Toad (I can tweak just about every display aspect of the tool). But you are right. Real estate suffers. Next time out, I am going to try VMG. Looks very cool.<BR/><BR/>Regards, Steven FeuersteinSteven Feuersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619706770920320550noreply@blogger.com
