    Previously to Kontakt 5.6, the text was too small for me but manageable due to the light background. However, Kontakt 5.6 seems to have made the font even smaller and added a dark background - both of these are making it extremely difficult (for me at least) to read anything. The choice of font does't help either. So, can an option to increase the font size be added? Or at least an option to choose small, medium or large?

    To add to this, can we also have an option to colour the whole key on the keyboard again please? Finding it almost impossible to see the tiny little colours at the top of the keys to figure which are the keyswitches etc! I realise you are making it look like the Complete Keyboards, but we don't all have them.

    I've also made this request known to them. I've heard it from other users too and I'm sure NI is aware of it.

    +1 for the large font size option. Without it, quick-load is practically useless to me. The removal of the colored keys is another bad decision. I'm holding off on upgrading.

    I sent them a ticket. No way I want to deal with that tiny font.
    Bring back the large option please. I'll hold off upgrading as long as possible which is too bad cause the UI does look sweet.

    +100 .. fonts too small, bad contrast/definition. Colored dots above keys too tiny. Please return to previous fonts and colored keys.

    Please put back colored keys - or at least make an option to turn them on.

    NI, why do you hate elder people? Is it because you're only a <insert hip modern music style here> company these days? Kontakt is used by many serious composers as well, and those guys unfortunately have been a tad bit longer on earth. So pretty please increase the unbearable font sizes or bring back the larger font option in Kontakt. Thanks for listening.

    nI, please give us the old larger font back. I can't read a thing in 5.6
    Also give us decent keyswitch colours back, not just the tiny dot above the keys!

    Hi,

    I'm the only one to get old, and find the small font size in Kontakt difficult to read? I find more and more with my neck folded to go nearer the display just to read a name.

    It would be great if we could choose the UI font size. Maybe the whole Kontakt window could grow to a bigger size, when you choose so.

    There's already a thread open for this, please post there instead of creating a new one. I am merging this one with the other one for the time being.


    There was a large font option but it was removed with K5.6. I'm assuming that GUI update is a work in progress and things will improve in subsequent versions.

    I'm sorry, but I did a search with 'font' instead of 'text', and couldn't find it. Thank you for joining the threads.

    Yes, font could be bigger. And key colors are useless now.

    I wouldn't really call this a feature suggestion, given the font size adjust was part of the last Kontakt, as were the coloured keys. It's more reinstate what was taken out. David Das, I think it needs to be moved to "technical issues".

    Wherever we're supposed to post it, count me in, most especially on the keyboard color thing. Just speaking for myself, I don't care about the font size (though I sympathize with those who do), but the old, clear keyboard color scheme is important.
