I had retinal eye surgery last Autumn, and am overdue for cataract surgery. I need new glasses, but it does not make sense for me to get them until after I have the cataract surgery. All this is to explain that my eyesight ain't so good, at the moment.
(There's a reason why my chosen moniker, "DuinoSoar," is almost like dinosaur; you know, those ancient, old creatures. And, yes, I know that pteranodons were not really dinosaurs, but the cartoon pterodactyl is my chosen icon and I am sticking to it. )
I am using Arduino IDE 2.0 with the "High Contrast" theme, and need to also use larger fonts in the editor window. However, when I expand the font size, the minimum size of the Output window also gets larger and takes up more "real estate," reducing the size of the source code editor window.
I really only want the Output window when I need it (e.g. when compiling and uploading my application), NOT while I am writing and editing code.
I tried to look for how to close or hide the Output window, but cannot seem to find it.
So how do I close or hide the Output window in IDE 2.0?
Thank you so much, @ptillisch. That works just fine. I appreciate you posting the answer. As your post suggests, it was not very intuitive. I was looking up in the menus, but did not find anything there.
I found an alternative way of doing it (if you're still interested): Simply double click on the file name to remove/replace the output area. See image below.
