Android version UI scale

Open KerballOne opened this issue 4 months ago • 3 comments

There does not appear to be a way to increase the button / text size in the UI.

I've seen old suggestions about a window scale option, but that is missing on the Android version.

It is painful to read the small text on mobile, and very difficult to select a button.

The problem is there is no room to increase the scale. If you increase the button size more, the simulation area gets smaller. It isn't like PC where we can just expand twice as large without hitting any borders.

There's a new version of the Android port being worked on. So far we haven't started much of the "Android"-specific layouts, but I think it will have a little less buttons on the bottom and the buttons that are there will be bigger.

Thank you. I am willing to sacrifice the simulation area for larger buttons and text.

Ok. Well, hopefully the next version will have a larger simulation area AND larger buttons. Bigger everything. There's definitely room to do it with an improved UI (featuring menus for some options instead of buttons).
