Windows+YoTo go to Windows settings, click on accessibility, “Make text bigger” will increase only the text size and “Make everything bigger” will increase both the size of the application and the text.
Both increases are for the entire operating system, not just the Sticky Notes app.
Change the font
In the modern version of sticky notes you cannot change the font type, it is only valid for older versions.
The old version of Sticky Notes does not allow you to change the font type. To do this, you have to change the font from the Windows registry editor and it will affect all notes and not just one.
We press the key ofWindowsand we write Regedit directly , the Registry Editor will appear and we click on it to open it.
On the left side we navigate to the route:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
On the right side, we will see all the fonts that the operating system has, we look for Segoe Print (Truetype) and Segoe Print Bold (Truetype) , which is the font that the quick notes application uses by default.
We edit both and change the default value of “segoepr.ttf” and “segoeprb.ttf” to the new font we are going to use. We can put any of those that appear in the “Data” column, respecting upper and lower case.
Once changed, we restart the computer so that it uses the new font.
Change color of quick note
Changing the color of the note is very simple, it will depend on whether we are in the modern or old version.
In the modern version, click on the three dots on the note that appear at the top right and select from the 7 available colors.In the old version, right click on the note and select from the 6 available colors.
