Problem Statement
Feature Request
The built-in terminal in Claude Desktop does not currently support font size customization.
Users have no way to adjust text size without changing system-wide display scaling.
Current Workaround
- Use OS-level display scaling (affects all apps)
- Use an external terminal (Windows Terminal, VS Code) to run the Claude CLI
Platform
Windows 11
Proposed Solution
Expected Behavior
A setting (in app preferences or settings.json) to configure the terminal font size.
