How to increase space between elements of address in the Address Bar?

#1 Post by Forez » 25.10.2022, 13:41

Is it at all possible to increase horizontal space between elements in Address Bar?

To see something like e.g.

Code: Select all

C: \ Windows \ System32 \ WindowsPowerShell \ v1.0 \ Modules \ AssignedAccess \ en-US
instead of hard to read

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\AssignedAccess\en-US
?

Sorry but such a string will be no valid path
and can not be used anywhere a path is required.

It's just a workaround, but you can use larger font size, different font, or move a cursor over the address bar to highlight individual elements.

What I had in mind was visual pauses and not real ones

I would like to be able to set margins counted in pixels and not white spaces

Yep, it's just not enough... unless someone happens to know the name of a font that ads a lot of empty space after the

Code: Select all

Well, I dig through thousands of fonts and came up only with one: Avrojaks by Breh Creative. But overall it is not readible enough to be used in the Address Bar

So then I thought: this search was a waste of time from the get-go - and instead of it I should had just modified any existing font by just changing its >>\<< sign to >> \ <<

But almost immediately I had a second thought: how about testing out a typewriter font like Courier New or Dark Courier? And that was it- a simple solution that gives me data in the Address Bar that looks neat. They do not have extra space around the slash character - but nevertheless create very readable paths

But still not as much readable as I would like - and surely not enough to stop me from creating a new topic about this issue: viewtopic.php?t=13221
