Font size of GUI is ridiculously small
Hi guys,
I am trying to use wxFormBuilder on Linux Mint 19 but the size of the toolbar is so small I can;t even see what they are meant to be :(
I've also found no way of altering the sizes of anything. I have bad eyesight and it making working with wxFormBuilder impossible. Any clues on how to enlarge the display of the builder ?
It looks like you are using a HiDPI screen, wxFB is currently not HiDPI aware so all Bitmaps keep their original size. This is one reason of the small toolbar, the other reason is a bug in wxWidgets that causes a wrong size calculation. I did some tests with simply resizing the current bitmaps, looks ugly and does not work completely currently. This will be improved in the future but i don't have a release date yet.
About the sizing question, the is no option to specifiy sizes explicit, however the GUI is in that way dynamic that is uses the OS set values and should resize accordingly. So if you want to have a bigger font size, set a bigger font size in the OS and wxFB should pick it up.

Wow, that makes total sense. I was on Windows before but now use Linux Mint. Windows would not pick up the display as HiDPI, but seems linux does easily.

I look forward to it.
