Add ability to configure label font size for floating mode
that's how it currently looks on my desktop:
as you can see, labels are really small.
This and also: sometimes label text is longer than the colored background and the text is actually unreadable.
It's interesting how small the font is here @3333juul. You seem to have a low display output scaling and compensate with bigger font size. Though, it really doesn't matter how you end-up with this, you should be able to set the font size regardless.
I'm thinking about adding a font_size setting that would take a curve based on the area height. It would look like this:
font_size=10px [h:5px], 14px [h:16px], 30px [h:60px]
Meaning: if the area is less or equal to 5px tall, the font size will be 10px, else if between 5 and 16px interpolate from 10 to 14px, etc.
Another simpler way would be to just have the min and max font size with the ratio with the area height. E.g:
font_size=10px 90% 30px
These are two ideas. If you have another feel free to share.
@abenz1267, that's indeed an issue. I'm not sure it's better to make the area bigger so I decided to have the text overflow. One solution would be to render shadows or a box around the text that's independent from the area.
I don't know if I have some unusual scaling of my monitor. I have a 23' monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080 and I use the default scale of 1.0 set in Hyprland. Seems pretty standard to me. My bar is quite small, which might suggest a small scale, but that's just my preference.
But anyway, I really like your ideas, choose the one you think will work best.
Indeed, a scaling of 1x on a 23" monitor at 1920x1080px looks about right. I guess you like your font big which is perfectly fine.
For what it's worth, I've noticed that making unselectable_bg_color more opaque does wonders to the readability of the text. It's a good workaround until font size can be larger.
