Color and font of distance tool

Hi,

 

A few weeks ago, I started my APP training at EHAM. My mentor quickly showed me the 'distance and heading tool' (http://puu.sh/pUz7X/2001cf3e65.png), and I immediatly found it an invaluabele tool.

 

However, quite often I cannot read the 'towards heading' (098 in my example), as the letters don't always stand out from the (non-black) background, like a TAG or a history trail. The same applies to the number of miles (10 in my example), and it is made worde because the line goes through the number.

 

Is there any way to change the color (and font size) of the text in this tool? I couldn't find it in display settings. Some bold kind of bright white would be an improvement I think.

 

Kind regards,

 

Martijn

Symbology settings -> Other -> distance values. You can change the size at the top.
