Tony, it sounds like you are having the same problem as I. For me, with my current monitor
and my present eyesight, having menu so small makes it really hard to work with.
What I know is there is a GTK resource file, but the only info that I have found is not very
current. I don't know what to name the resource file (.gtkrc or .gtkrc-3.0) and what syntax
to use in it.

:h hl-menu on my setup says nothing about GTK. (sigh)

thanks for the reply.

The Menu highlight group is supposed to set font, foreground colour
and background colour for the menus and toolbar (see :help hl-Menu);
however in my current gvim system (with GTK3 GUI) this highlight group
is not set, and I haven't tried to set it to see if it made the menu
font change. (The menus are displayed.)

Best regards,
Tony.

How to Set menu size on gvim

I am using gvim version 8.2 on ubuntu 22.04,
Huge version with GTK3 GUI.

How may I set the menu size to a larger font?

I have found instructions for versions with Athena or Motif but none that are current
for modifying menu sizes on versions with GTK3.

Thanks

Sorry, that was meant as a disclaimer, as in: the links I found don't specifically mention a webmaster, so I realize that by replying to you, I'm possibly not talking to the actual webmaster. But apparently I *am* :)

I meant that in general. A "last updated on" header / footer can help the viewer decide which information might be stale. OTOH you're right, if it doesn't need updating, it doesn't.

Not on the homepage, but https://www.vim.org/sponsor/faq.php still talks about voting benefits.

Anyway, I'm not here to nitpick, much less nitpick the website. Thanks for all your work on vim (and on maintaining the site)!

Nothing changed with regard to the donations. They still go to the ICCF.

Sorry, I don't follow. The community channels are still active.

Well, what exactly do you expect on updates? there wasn't anything that
needs to be update since the 9.1 release

I removed mentioning of the voting system from the Vim Homepage.

Well, what exactly do you expect on updates? there wasn't anything that
needs to be update since the 9.1 release

OK, perhaps this should be mentioned on vim.org. I'm not sure who maintains it; https://www.vim.org/huh.php links to https://www.vim.org/community.php which links to the mailing lists and IRC channel.

As things stands now, it's impossible to tell by visiting the site whether any particular page has been updated after January 2024 (and more generally if what it says is still true -- a simple "last updated on" would help somewhat).

As mentioned, the paypal account should still work. Unfortunately,
no-one can anylonger relate the donators to the respective vim.org
accounts. That's why the accounts are no longer updated. And at the same
time, the voting feature is no longer useful.

Thanks,
