Size of Icons for comments

[Peter2]

I found the palette with a lot of different icons for the "comments". Is it possible to set the size?

Hi, Peter2

Do you mean the icon types for the "sticky note" tool?

Unfortunately these are static sizes, as stick notes, along with the callout attached to them need to automatically resize based on the zoom level in a document in multiple softwares. They have a position, but size is not available for changing currently.

Kind regards,

[Peter2]

OK, thanks.

I'm late to the party, but what I did to kind of get around this lack of flexibly of no comment size adjustment, is to make the color 40% transparent. Then at least can read whats under the big, fat comment icon.

To do this across many comments is very resource intensive on processor for big files (eg >25k comments), but here's the steps:
1. select 1 comment and open its property pane.
2. change the Style Opacity to 40%.
3. right click on that comment, click Style Tools, Copy Comment Style.
4. open the Comments pane.
5. click on the first comment in list, hold down <Shift> and click on last comment in list.
6. wait many minutes (depending on your file size and processor speed) for all comments to select.
7. right click on another comment while its highlighted, and select Style Tools, Apply Copied Comment Style.
8. wait 2x many minutes and all comments will have the same style you set.
