    Happy new year to you all.

    New here and waiting for my intro message to appear. I know it can take a while. So a simple one as an ice breaker if I may.

    Ive installed the round corner plugin. Fantastic tool. But is there any way to make the info tab larger. finding it hard to see what I'm selecting.

      Your profile indicates you are on a Mac. Is it perhaps a MacBook Pro Retina or a 5k iMac? If so, you are seeing a known problem with SketchUp's support for high-dpi screens: things on the viewport are drawn at full pixel resolution, which makes them tiny and very hard to see. Fredo draws his own on-viewport menus, so they suffer from this effect. In the Window->LibFredo6 Settings...->Default Parameters screen you can check the Retina Screen option, and this will help with the graphics parts, but the text will still be very small. The SketchUp developers have been working on adding better view text support, but as of the initial release of 2016 it doesn't quite provide enough to let Fredo make the text bigger.

      On a Mac you can work around the problem somewhat clumsily by enabling System Preferences->Accessibility->Zoom to let you zoom a portion of the display. Not a good solution, but it helps...

        Thank you for that slbaumgartner. Im on a 15" macbook pro with retina. Checking the retina box has more than doubled the size of the tab.
