I’m trying to design a Windows Forms application. By default, .NET had put Tahome 8,25 on the toolbar and Microsoft SansSerif 8,25 on everything else. To improve the general look and feel of the forms I’d like to change them.
Which font family should I use as a default? And what size should they be?
For:
- Classic data input form (label + textbox, label + combobox…)
- Data grid
Is there a recommended way?
The application is a classic business application, you can think of it as an accounting type.
I would stick with the SystemFonts as that way the app stays consistent with their main UI. Same for colours, always tray and use SystemColor.
However if for some reason I can pick a font, before I had heard of Segoe UI, I used Verdana.
