One more push on text settings in Bf
With some help from Sames, I now have the entire BottomFeeder obeying the user's text size settings - including the menus, which previously ignored them. This makes the whole thing much more consistent.
Update - The html pane scales up and down with changes in text size as well. To get that work, you'll need to grab the updated Twoflower (html) as well as the updated BottomFeeder. Many thanks to Holger Kleinsorgen for making this possible!

I liked having the tree, item list and menus small but the item in the TwoFlower pane lager -- old eyes, you know. Any chance of having a separate setting for the size of text in the item pane?
It would also be great to have BottomFeeder remember the position of the horizontal sizer between the item list pane and the item pane.

I just noticed that the BottomFeeder text size setting also affect other VisualWorks tools, and vice versa. Shouldn't the BottomFeeder settings be completely separate?

It's not easy to separate that, no. Since most people are running Bf deployed, it's not really my biggest concern...

I'm running the dev version, but no new versions show up in my list when I choose 'Check for upgrades...'. I'm still on the 'old' GUI. Something I'm missing?

Open Settings (under the System menu). Select 'Network'. Add dev/ to the end of the upgrade url and check again

Thx. That did the trick.
Room for improvement

My HTML-text-size-hack was a bit too quick, there are still some styles that do not adapt to the text size settings (e.g. blockquotes). Looks like I need to improve the code ;)
