how to set the default zoom level

[Jelmerro]

Currently there is no setting for this, but it could be added. It does remember the zoom level per domain, but the fixed default is the default zoom of 100%.

Any update on this issue ? Using --ash-host-window-bounds="1920x1080" and --force-scale-factor=1.5 seems to do nothing

[Jelmerro]

I have made the interface scaling into a proper supported Vieb flag named --interface-scale, hence the force-scale-factor not working, could you try that too? We do definitely still need a proper default zoom, but at least having that flag there should work as a workaround.

Trying with --interface-scale has some strange results, atleast for me on my tiling window manager.

It might work for someone with a floating window manager ? When I set the --interface-scale to 2:

It will yell at me that my argument is unsupported if I put --interface-scale=1.5, but it does allow for a scale less than 1. that does the opposite of when I set it to 2, and shrinks the entire thing:

The problem is that these windows are not floating or anything, they are tiled like that:

I can't seem to get it scale properly either. Setting it to floating mode does not help and I can only resize it to a certain extent before it won't go any further:

Floating mode

I think this might be an issue with the window manager indeed. Do you have similar issues with other Electron applications when using the force-scale-factor flag?

The only other electron application I have is Discord, and neither --force-scale-factor nor --interface-scale affect it at all. Discord does have an option for increasing scaling in settings though. I have no problem with scaling at all in Discord

I should mention I have only tested the --interface-scale option on the newest version with the AppImage. Still doesn't work as intended.
