Content text box is very small by default

Open guiweber opened this issue 1 month ago • 6 comments

When editing a post, the text box for the content is very small by default. It can be expanded manually, but it would make a smoother experience if the text box was adjusted to the window size, or at least significantly larger by default.

@guiweber what screen is this, is it some high def apple screen? could be that there some meta viewport info i could set to make it adjust a bit for your use case :)

worst case, if it turns out that i can't find a simple solution, you can yourself do all kinds of custom stuff and change anything visual-wise by editing custom.css to make it look like you would prefer

when editing custom.css: the easiest for you could be to set (all interface elements should resize after this change)

:root {
   font-size: 24pt;
}

This is with a standard 4k 28" desktop screen ;)

So maybe it's me missing something, but I don't see any option anywhere to edit/upload a custom css file...

Also, to be more precise, the font is the right size for my screen. I have no trouble reading it.

The issue is that so few letters fit inside the box, which feels very cramped for editing anything longer than a very short post. I think the suggested change would only increase the size of everything without allowing more letters to fit in the box by default.

What I think would be useful is to make use of the screen's space to allow more letters to fit in the box, so that editing large texts more comfortable.

@guiweber ah sorry it's called theme.css, my bad!

if you have a fresh install of cerca, which prompted you to run cerca write-defaults --config <config.toml> --data-dir <dir to data> then you should find the css file i'm talking about in <dir to data>/assets/theme.css

4k sheesh gettoutta here i'm rocking 1080p here on a refurbished 23" X)
