Caps/Num Lock warning text too small

[spotlesscoder]

The capslock and numlock notifications are something I missed for a long time. Thanks for adding it!

But the font is very small. I suggest making all fonts bigger by +8pt on the greeter.

Maybe this can be made configureable with gsettings?

@CodingSpiderFox what resolution and size of display are you using? Are you using text scaling in your user session? I believe those labels are the same size as the rest of the standard UI font, so they shouldn't be any smaller than everything else.

Screen resolution = 1920x1080 Where can I check for the text scaling settings?

[cassidyjames]

@CodingSpiderFox System Settings → Desktop → Appearance

[spotlesscoder]

Text size is set to default there

Hm. Do you find other text in the OS too small? I do see we're using a <small> tag here, maybe we can drop that:

[spotlesscoder]

Yes, I think this might be sufficient to remove the tag.

@CodingSpiderFox I spoke with @danrabbit and it looks like we do use <small> in similar contexts throughout the rest of the OS. What physical size is your display, out of curiosity?

[spotlesscoder]

The problem appears on all displays I used so far. 22", 24", 12,5"

Now that we have caps and num indicators in the panel, I wonder if this UI should go away. Thoughts from @elementary/ux ?

[cassidyjames]

@danrabbit ah yeah we could enable those by default in the greeter session, maybe? Or do the whole if-the-user-enabled-them-in-their-session thing with AccountsService.
