Hi Giacomo,

        In TkConsole, "Prefs:Hot Errors" can be convenient for debugging.

From http://wiki.tcl.tk/1878 :
hot errors is the facility in tkcon that makes any error thrown to the toplevel tkcon command line a link. Clicking on the link will pop up the full error (with errorInfo <http://wiki.tcl.tk/1645>) and, where possible, highlight procs. Green highlighted procs will pop up an edit window with that proc information, while blue highlighted procs will do the same, but highlight the error information it received from the stack trace. In this way, errors in your code that reach the global level become much easier to debug

                        Cheers,

                        Barry

> Hello Han, VMD uses the FLTK library for rendering menus, buttons, and the other GUI elements. Unfortunately it looks like the font size is hard-coded and cannot be changed without recompilation. But if you're OK with recompiling VMD, you can try changing it:
