Hi, @Tim Edwards @Stefan Schippers @Mitch Bailey recently I have installed Magic. I would like to ask how I can change the layers' color to be more visible or even enlarge this part. Thanks

Changing layer colors is a (too-) complicated process of changing the styles for each layer in the
style
section of the techfile, and/or the style file in the magic run-time installation, and/or the colormap in the magic run-time installation. You might first want to make sure you are running
magic -d OGL
or
magic -d XR
, since the colors you show above are for the old/horrible X11 graphics interface. You will probably much prefer the colors and styles in the OpenGL or Cairo graphics formats. You can change the size of the icons by creating a home directory
.magicrc
file and adding the lines, say:
set Opts(scale) 2.0
set Opts(toolscale) 1.0
or something like that. I think the first line changes everything created by Tk, including menus and pop-up windows. You might want to leave that alone and just set the toolscale (maybe to 2.0 if "scale" hasn't been changed?).
