ForkLift 4.1.3 introduces some major changes to the View Option Panel. You can open the view options from the menu: View > Show View Options or by using the Command-J keyboard shortcut.

It is now possible to use recursive view settings on the View Option Panel by selecting the “This Folder and Subfolders” option from the drop-down menu at the top of the panel.

We have added the option to change the font inside the panes. The font outside the panes (sidebar, toolbar, preview pane, etc.) can’t be changed.

You can change the font on the View Options Panel by clicking on the selected font type next to “Font”. The default font is called “System Font Regular”. When you click the font, macOS’s built-in font selector opens. Some available fonts don’t work well in ForkLift because they are cut off at the bottom or at the top. Please consider not using those fonts.

After you change the system font, the “System Font Regular 12.0 pt.” font will be added to the “Recently Used” section, but it is possible that it will disappear from that section after a while. Apple generally doesn’t allow users access to the system font, so it is not listed in the font picker. You can restore the system font by Alt-Clicking the selected font on the ForkLift View Option Panel.

If you change the font size in the Font Picker window, that won’t be reflected in ForkLift. If you want to change the font size, you should do that on the ForkLift View Options Panel by changing the “Font size” below “Font”.

By selecting the “Bold Folders” setting, you can make the folder names more apparent.
