Enlarge find all references font size in Visual Studio 2017?

Question

So MS added the new style for "find all references", but now I cannot find how to change the font size of the "Code" column! I want it bigger, but when I change the Environment font it only affects the other columns (File, Project, etc.). Is there any way to increase the font size of the "Code" column?

If not - is there any (preferably free) extension available for VS2017 that will replace the new default find all references window?

Not find the way to change the font and color for it, maybe you could use certain extension tool like the ReSharper to help you analyze project references: jetbrains.com/help/resharper/… – Riel

@JackZhai-MSFT ReSharper is too expensive, I'm looking for other alternative – Isbell

I've found the solution!

Tools -> Options -> Fonts and Colors -> Show settings for

then choose Editor Tooltip and select the desired font and size.

This affects the tooltips as well as the find all references window!

In case anyone is also looking to also adjust the background color for the Find All References window, there is now a semi-workaround by using Tools - Options - Environment - Find And Replace - 'Use editor background in the Find All References tool window' as explained in this VS feedback item – Boccie

In Visual Studio 2017, the option is under "Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> Show settings for:". – Tijuanatike

Unlike other font settings, the change isn't applied immediately, only at the next reference search (VS2022) – Jana
