I'll try to make the GUI a bit larger in the next release already.

Thanks for the donation, it made my day!

Donating at least 1 BTC for downloading the Client should be self-evident.
(E.g. you could place a YouTipit button on your page - http://www.youtipit.org)

Many thanks for the "special edition" Wink

Consolas looks nice, its perfect! It would be great if you could include it (or a similar one) in the Build (size 11 and/or 12 pt). http://www.johndcook.com/blog/2009/09/21/free-alternative-to-consolas-font/
A proposal: Could you make the gui a bit larger?

Ideally, font type and size would be user options, and window size, position
and column widths could be also saved, if that is feasible for you?

sure, I just did not have time to do it myself

unfortunately me neither, and I am not yet experienced enough with Python file IO Sad

I'm not sure how to please everybody regarding font and window size preferences, will
think about what would be the best way to proceed...

maybe we could add it to the list of options?

Yes I think that would be great. It would certainly help keep the same source code
for Linux and Windows (currently I have to manually fine-tune gui_qt.py with each build,
to make the GUI look nice on Windows)

Ideally, font type and size would be user options, and window size, position
and column widths could be also saved, if that is feasible for you?

Surely Linux users will appreciate this too, I guess.

I like it. Size 12 is perfect for me.
Maybe there are other users who prefer that font.

The problem is that some versions of XP don't have that font and I'm not sure if
distributing it with my build is allowed.

Here's a temporary link to a quick patch to use Consolas size 12 with your current version of Electrum.

Download that gui_pt.qy file (original code by ThomasV of course), and copy it to this directory:
%AppData%\Electrum-P\R052\C_\ElectrumPY\electrum

Filesize and MD5 for this patch must be 43,218 bytes and E536A6B53CBD732C5EB570874F2DD01C if you want to verify integrity.

Don't hesitate to let me know if any issues.

Thats more than I deserve Roll Eyes

Maybe "Consolas" would be fine, or "DejaVu"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samples_of_monospaced_typefaces
I m not sure about the size.

No problem, I don't get such good donations every day...

I don't have DejaVu here, but below is a preview of the GUI with Consolas, size 12. Let me know if you would you like that and I can make the release tomorrow morning.

Hi. I just tested the new build, it works fine Tongue

The new font is better than the previous one, but its a bit small. Could you make it 1pt larger?

I like the new electrum and I just send you 5 BTC. Some more will come

Thanks a lot for your feedback and cool donation! Very motivating.

That font ('Fixedsys') only has one size I'm afraid (as you can verify in notepad for example).
However if you have another font on your system that you would prefer to use, I'll be happy to
make a custom build for you.

(Note that for the number alignments to look right, the font needs to be a monospace/fixed-width font)

I tried new console window with few commands and it works great! And the fact that it's there only when you need it... is so HANDY! : )

Thanks!

Great, enjoy Wink

I also find it very convenient!

Stand-alone release 0.49d for Windows is out.

Includes all the latest and greatest fixes and features added by ThomasV.

Seems to be extremely stable.

This is also my first build that integrates a custom virtual console
with full command-line support - Just hold down the SHIFT key while starting
the application to access it.

Please note that this is an experimental feature, for advanced users only.

The parentheses problem should be fixed in 0.49d (just released).

[EDIT] Build 0.51 uses a new monospace font (Fixedsys)! I hope you like this one better.

Otherwise, if you're okay with editing Python source code, I can look up the exact file
and line to edit.
