Searched - nothing came up. So, the question is, is it possible to set the tab height somehow for default windows like Start -> Settings, where there are 3 tabs - Personal, System and Connections?

Thanks.

Shouldn't have thanked You in advance... It's been like two weeks and even after I sent You a PM nothing has been going on. If You can't make it, please say so, it sucks to leave people waiting...

The tab height is controlled solely by the text within it. By default this is system font Tahoma 8pt. In .NET, there is no property or method to change the height of the tab, you can only change the type or size of font and the tabs will then be resized to accomodate it.

If the window uses the system font, in the case of Settings, it's a certainty, then the only way you would have any control over it is to change the system font. There are several articles here on xdadevs to tell you how, search Windows Mobile Change System Font, and pick one. The downside is, it will apply to everything, not just tabs, whether you want it to or not.

Thanks for the thorough reply! I guess I won't be changing the system font because of the other drawbacks...
