scaled up UI 200%

Open Fuzzwah opened this issue 8 years ago • 6 comments

Increased font sizes and UI elements by 200% to allow better display on high def screens.

Users on lower res screens can use the - hotkey to scale down if required.

Thanks! Not sure this makes sense as the default, though. Nobody has complained about it being too small before. Maybe you could make the user's choice of zoom level persist instead?

Please don't do this. The OS should compensate for the resolution? Otherwise you could tweak the font size (cmd/ctrl +)? And, to hurt the experience for people without a hiDPI screen, which is probably much more people, by default, is just ridiculous. Using Firefox on Linux (ElementaryOS), on a 4k 15.4 screen, the window is the already a similar size, so for me it's already compensated somehow.

the window object will give you the window size in pixels - I'd suggest to use this to determine a sensful value

@ds300 There is a previous mention of the issue I ran into: https://github.com/ds300/jetzt/issues/125 I have found that my change to the scale using + / - is persistant already, just that it is capped at 200% of default.

@peteruithoven I had been ctrl +'ing everytime I ran jeztz, but then found the scale option in the source code. I attempted to use that to increase the size, but found that the font became blury.

Using my change and then setting the initial scale back to 0.5 would result in the exact same defaults for new users but then allow people like me who would prefer larger text to scale up with out the font becoming blury.

Sounds sensible. I'm on holiday without a laptop for a few weeks but will take a look at this later in the month. Cheers.

What I did: config.js, this allows me to zoom in for my bad eyesight, no reason to limit the max to 1
