Does anybody know how to change the pop-ups font in Visual Studio ?
I need fixed size fonts and I spent already countless time browsing.
Thanks.
Those are called Tooltips, not pop-ups. And yes, you can change their font settings.
Go to Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors.
From the drop-down menu, select Editor Tooltip:
Change the font settings as you wish and click OK.

When I hit CTRL + F, the following window for search pops up, but the font is relatively very small to the main window. How do I fix this?
In VS 2019 it's
Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors
then from the "Show settings for:" drop down you can select
Environment
Where you can alter the default font for all VS Window and menu text.
NB: This may be more than you are willing to change
Coding/editor windows will remain the same.
Fonts for all editors is in
Text Editor
I am trying to make the UI of Visual Studio 2017 smaller, but I can't find any settings for that.
I know I can resize the code-content, but I am looking for a way to make the Solution Explorer, Properties, Toolbar, etc. smaller.
Go to Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors
In "Show Settings for" chose "Environment"
In "Font" replace Automatic to a different font, then change the size.
Change the font size of that setting, all Font size in the Explorers (Solution Explorer, Server Explorer and Toolbox) and menus will change.
We can change font for VS IDE items in the Options\Environments\Fonts and Colors dialog. However, I still cannot find how to do that for the Properties pane. Can anybody help me with that?
Working mainly with VS 2013 Professional or Community Editions.
Use > tools > options > Fonts and Colors (Show settings drop down)
Environment font for menus etc
Locals Window for properties window
You must restart the IDE to make the properties window changes
I've tried to make my Visual Studio more beautyful, so I downloaded Son of Obsidian color scheme from here. And then everething is okay, except scrollbars. Scrollbars are now not Visual Studio 2012 cool custom scrollbars, but Windows default scrollbars. I've tried to resel all preferences using "Import and Export options..." menu, but this won't work. Colors returned to default state, but scrollbars are the same Windows scrollbars. By the way, I'm using Dark theme. So question is how to return normal custom scrollbars back? This default are really very annoying.
Sounds like you need a clean install if the resets are not working.
To get a clean "Son of Obsidian" or other themes that don't affect scroll bars, go here.
Also see the Visual Studio Color Theme Editor extension for your version of studio that lets you manage your themes. This should get you back to default theme settings or assist in creating new default theme settings.
After that, you can tweak some hard to find Map Mode Scroll Bar colors in the Visual Studio 2012-13
Tools>options>Environment>FontsAndColors>TextEditor>
Display Items:
Overview background
Overview caret
Overview collapsed region
Overview visible
Is there any way to change this? Either the background or the foreground color would help. Mine is pretty much unreadable at the moment.
With the Theme Editor extension installed, go to Theme > Customize Colors
Modify the values of CommandBarMenuBackgroundGradientBegin and CommandBarMenuBackgroundGradientEnd to change the background color.
The background color of the file icon can be changed with CommandBarMenuIconBackground.
For Default look and feel of Visual Studio you can go and reset your Environment Settings !
Tools > Import and Export Settings > Reset All Settings
But
You can use "Visual Studio Color Theme Editor" Extension. Click here
or You can go to http://www.studiostyl.es/ and download any theme you like then install on your machine.
