crap...anyone know of a round about way of changing text size? Like finding a template file or xml or that intralink uses where I could change the size?
The thing that could be disconcerting to most Windows users is how little is configurable in Intralink. From the interface standpoint, there's nothing!!!!! Within the menus, there's only Table Views and Options which is related to Table Views. So, it lets you control columns, sort order and what gets filtered out and for each of the many functions.
However, it's a Java-based program; maybe there's some hook in through Jlink. Or, maybe, as with most Admin-heavy programs (and since this front-ends Oracle, it's professional city), the trick is in the installation. Are you the Admin (if so, and you're asking us, you're in really sad shape)? If not, make fast friends with whoever is. Interface issues are configurable at installation or not at all, at least not without writing a special program.
Luckily, Java is the original, strictly GUI programming language. You'd expect it to be font-friendly. More than likely, PTC just decided to go cheap on the interface config issues.
Have you tried the simple, obvious things, like changing screen resolution, which will definitely get you larger text? Most of us geriatric cases get the glasses (yeah, thanks for rubbin' it in, shaun) and use larger fonts and just lean into the screen!!! Sorry, can't be any more 'help' than that.
