#17: Value Formatting
=====================

Formatted Value Field
*********************


The **Value Field** is one of the most extensively used widgets as it is the
default for displaying numerical values and strings. In Karabo 2.9, formatting
is introduced in this widget to help increase its visibility on larger screens.
One can now change its *font size* and *font weight*.

This can be down by the following steps:

2. Right-click the value field widget
3. Hover *“Value Field: Properties”*
4. Select *"Format field.."*
5. Configure the font size and weight as desired

   Configuring the font size and weight

Formatting the value field is optional. It defaults to the application font,
which is size ``10 pt`` and ``normal`` weight.
