In Winamp, go to Options -> Preferences, and then click on Display on the left side. There should be an option that says Playlist font size. Just type in the number you want and voila!

Is there a way to make the menus on the playlist editor bigger. With the big fonts on the playlist, I still can't see the menus (4" screen)

Winamp itself has double size.

So we know how to change font size, but what about making the play list window bigger that way I can read the whole tittle of the song...

Oops just realized that's thesame question above...

To read the titles you can just drag the playlist thing to a larger size.

I need the fonts on the menus to be larger.

I'm also very interested in this. My Winamp is double-sized and the fonts are kicked way up so that I can read the titles on my 5.6" screen. However, all of the buttons on the Playlist Editor are still tiny (in fact unreadable). Is there any "double-size" option for the playlist editor?
Also, when you right-click on the Winamp bar, you get menu options. If you select "Play" and then "Directory", you get a fairly standard File/Open dialog box. This is also very small, but seems unaffected by changes to Winamp fonts, as well as changes to regular Windows fonts.
Sorry, this is a lot to digest, but does anyone have any ideas about any of this stuff?

Thanks!!!

Tell me you aren't serious....

if you are, just click on the little D in the Time/Spectrum Analyzer Window.

via the menu you can go to Options->Double Size

or just hit Ctrl-D

Same problem here -- on my 6.5" in-dash screen. I can tweak Winamp, but of course eventually it makes a Windows call (such as the file-open dialog box you mention) and opens a standard Windows dialog box. The only way I can think of to fix this would be with some kind of custom Windows Shell replacement. Not sure if anyone's taken this approach, but someone ought to make a custom theme for WinStep or something that is designed for certain LCD sizes. This might also help fix the font size problem a lot of us are having with the issue of sending a 640x480 desktop through tv-out to a 6.5" monitor.. yuccky.
