[Request]: Even larger text render

Open eobet opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Describe the request

Text render settings currently only has one level of larger text. It would be nice if there was one additional, or perhaps even a slider like in Discord or a value like in Firefox.

This might not be according to the Gnome HIG, but today very few applications seem to support display scaling on the Gnome desktop and instead become blurry when you attempt to use it (in Wayland at least), so until most of them support it, an even larger text size would be a nice feature to have (even though Trumpet is one of the few apps which behave very well with display scaling).

Perhaps by labeling extra large text as an accessibility option there would be an excuse to keep it around even if the current display scaling bugs in Gnome get resolved in the future.

Implementation Details

  • [X] This should be an option in settings.
  • [ ] This should be only available to some fediverse backends. (Include which ones on the above field).
  • [X] This is client-only (and shouldn't sync with the instance).
  • [X] This follows the GNOME HIG.

Not really sure about this.

The current implementation is CSS based and just sets the font-size to larger. This has the positive side effect of respecting the base font size which might have been modified by custom themes or accessibility options:

Why this can't be done as in browser?
