Add option to be able to change text size of steam.
As a long time user of Steam (5-10 years), I am very surprised that they have not added such an option yet. I realize there is a way to change the text size by going into the Steam files, looking through them and changing it manually. But for those of us that are less tech savy, adding a simple option to be able to change text size from say an 8 to 12 or 15 would be quite helpful. (Numbers based on word doc sizes.) A slider would be even better to simplify the process. Ex. the slider could go from 100 (Base size) up to 250 with incriments of 25 for easy adjustability.

I have tried that and nothing happened after restarting steam.

I also know of magnify programs and being able to change text sizes in windows. Although those do not scale well when in games.

What is your DPI set to in Windows or your GPU software?

For Windows it's at the default 100 due to some things not scaling well. GPU(nvidia) I am unsure as to how to check. If you are talking about screen res. then it's 1440p. *side note* This suggestion was mainly for others who are experiencing similar issues. Having an option in steam would simplify everything. Meaning no having to look through (Windows settings, Gpu settings, Steam files, or magnification software.)
