How to change the default magnification of new notebooks in the front end?

Posted 1 month ago

I'm running Mathematica 14.0 on Windows:

$Version
(* OUTPUT: *)
(* 14.0.0 for Microsoft Windows (64-bit) (December 13, 2023) *)

When I create a new notebook (File -> New -> Notebook) in the front end, the magnification is set to 100% by default, as indicated in the bottom right-hand corner of the notebook window.

I'd like the magnification of new notebooks to instead be set to 75% by default. Should I do this using the Options Inspector in the front end? For example, should I do the following steps (referenced here) in the Options Inspector in the front end?

  1. In the front end, choose Format -> Options Inspector...
  2. Set Show option values to Global Preferences.
  3. Go to Notebook Options -> Display Options in the left-hand pane.
  4. In the right-hand pane, change the value of Magnification from 1.0 to 0.75.

Or is there another approach I should take?
