Font sizes are hardcoded, but I could add a global multiplier factor or expose each size in the configuration file. Which way makes more sense for you?

Hi, a global multiplier factor would be nice! Also, a wiki or something explaining to code it would be interesting, do you know anything similar?

Thanks in advance

Note: Scaling can also be modified as follows (from this reddit post by u/best_username_evar):

Edit or create the script /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup and add the line xrandr --dpi <desired dpi, for instance 192>

This will change icon scaling as well as font. For me. this was a good solution. Thanks @avivace for this repo and the i3-plasma repo, it's gotten me closer to a great desktop setup.

Edit: the Arch wiki has another method to change DPI scaling in SDDM. I recognize all this may not be what some users want--maybe they just want to change font for just this theme.

Nice find @fr1ll ! That's very useful and worth mentioning in the readme of this repo as it could potentially cover most use cases of this theme (and it's less expensive to mantain)
