I ask because when I have friends round, they often wnat to know what's playing, and they have tp get up and squint at the screen to see.

No?

For default UI:
Go to Preferences|Display|Default User Interface and check the buttons.

For Columns UI:
Go to Preferences|Display|Columns UI, select Playlist view tab and on the upper right hand corner there's a button which pops up a menu with the option you need (plus some more). Alternatively, you can use the Components/Columns UI/Increase font size menu item.

For gfx_window:
Go to Preferences|Display|gfx_window and check the buttons.

There's also foo_osd by kode54, if you want a separate display for the current song. (My foo_tutorial1 component can also - sort of - do this, but since it is for educational purposes, it is nowhere as polished as foo_osd.)

any way of getting a better gui?

There are 3 GUIs you can choose from (foo_ui_gfx is quite new and in an early state). Each is configurable. What do you want?

Thanks to all - display sorted, I like Foobar even better now.
