Yes if you right click on the white top bar in the Toolkit and select properties, the font size is set to 8x12. You can change it to 12x16 to make the font bigger (you can also select defaults instead of properties if you want it to be permanent next time you open the Toolkit). This will make it a lot easier for you to read but will make the Toolkit bigger lol.

Mark.

@mskip Thanks, 12x16 is much easier on my old eyes. Have a fantastic day.

@mskip Thanks for the update to Android 7.1.1. Just used the toolkit and updated and wanted to say I like the updated root procedures. Thanks for your continued hard work and dedication to maintaining the toolkit. I'm always amazed at how quick you get it updated following a new ROM release. :)

Hiding out south of the border...
Just installed the toolkit for the first time and it won't launch

I have just done a fresh install on a new PC. I installed the Ultimate Drivers first, then the complete toolkit, to the root directory as instructed. When I click on either new desktop icon the terminal window briefly flashes up then disappears and nothing happens. I can connect my N9 and open a command window in either install folder and run adb-toolkit devices and it finds my N9. I have a fairly recent version of JRE installed. What am I missing?

AutoUpdate Available for Nexus 9 device module [PRO Users Only]

I had to buy a new laptop and whole new set of programs to make/compile the updates as I lost everything when my hard drive crashed and took out my pc. All this cost me £600 which I had to scrape together and why it took a few more days to get everything done. Updates should come thick and fast now but I have no money left. Im not begging for handouts but if you have ever found the Toolkit useful and want to give back you can send me anything at https://www.paypal.me/mskip. I wouldn’t be saying this unless it was critical and my family and me (and the Toolkit) will be very grateful for anything.

Changelog:
+Added Support [including root] for ALL BUILDS up to and including May 2017 builds
+Added ALL above STOCK and OTA images to download/flash directly from Toolkit using option 9,1 [firmware download/flash] or 10,1 [ota download/sideload]
+Updated Toolkit base to 1.6.0. Updated app versions and improved functions
+Toolkit will automatically disable all server pings if they cause any trouble with downloads
+Added direct link to google download site in factory image downloads section
+Improved some Main Menu functions

I uploaded public device modules last month to support March and lower builds so if you are not a pro user and do not want to donate you should still be able to use the public build to download a new image from google servers, then use the toolkit (selecting the latest available build) to work with it.

If you find any of this useful PLEASE donate to a device project. You can do it through the Toolkit (after selecting the device at startup) or from the link at http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=703 so you get the right code fast and can update to the latest version. You can also go ULTIMATE mode now and unlock ALL device modules for the lifetime of the Toolkit. Follow me on twitter at https://twitter.com/mskipxda for posts/updates.
