Small title bar buttons

S

What did I do this time?

I went into Accessories/Accessibility/Accessibility Wizard. I click on the Next button
to go through each dialog, but did not change anything. Now my title bar buttons
(Minimize, Maximize and Close) are smaller than usual. I went back to the Accessibility
Wizard, but did not find any obvious way to get back the standard size titel bar buttons.

The option "Use usual text size for windows" is selected, although I don't believe that
this determines the size of the buttons (if what it says is true). I also went into
Control Panel/Accessibility, but did not find anyting obvious there either. Also went into
Display Properties... ditto.

What am I missing? I am sure it is something silly that I can't put my finger on.

Thanks, Saga

Right click the desktop, properties, appearance tab, advanced button: On
the item drop down menu, select caption buttons and increase the size.

Thanks, that worked! :-D

I had been to that dialog, but I did not try each item in the list and
"caption buttons" didn't "sound" like it was relevant to the buttons on
the title bar.

I had to test various sizes to find the default size which turned out to
be 25.

Also, I tested this further and found that by pressing Alt-LeftShift-PrtScrn
Windows goes into high contrast mode - by pressing this key combination
again it goes back to normal view mode, also resetting the size of the
caption buttons back to their default size (which is 25). Regards, Saga
