Make play/follow/pause/step/loop button size configurable for e.g. touch screens

Open michel-ristau-st opened this issue 2 months ago • 1 comments

Description:

Currently, the size of the control buttons (e.g. play, pause, loop) in the Rerun viewer seems to be fixed. On desktop this works fine, but when displaying the viewer on a tablet or other touch-screen devices, these buttons appear quite small and are difficult to tap accurately with a finger.

It would be very helpful if the button size could be adjusted - for example, via a Blueprint setting - so that the same viewer UI can be made more touch-friendly without changing the layout or hiding any buttons.

Expected behavior:

Allow configuring the size (e.g. scale factor or pixel size) of playback/control buttons in the viewer UI.

No need to change layout or visible controls, only their size should be adjustable.

Use case: Displaying Rerun viewer on a tablet or large touchscreen where users interact directly with the UI.

Rerun isn't optimized for touch at all so far and there's a lot that has to be done to make it work well, but that said you can already increase the ui size of the viewer both on desktop and the browser, simply use ctrl + '+'

We don't have this exposed on blueprint since blueprint is meant for easily shareable settings, so instead this one is an "application setting" and the most common reason for overall scaling is screen dpi (in fact by default we take over the OS' scaling factor)
