Font size/screen real-estate #37

Open lauren7ino opened 3 weeks ago

rg353m: 640x480 screen

1) Is there any hack I can edit in the config file to double the font size? It's barely readable. 2) What about to improve the wasted screen space?

Thanks 1

Because of the wide variety of handheld devices out there it is hard to get a proper setting for each of them. The script tries to relies in tput, stty size and $LINES variable to adjust messages boxes, a default setting is set if none of the environment test can get a setting for the number of lines and columns for the terminal... which is set for smaller screen (that's what you end up with). What I'll do is adding a custom variable that can be changed within the configuration file so people can adjust the default setting.

@lauren7ino you should be able to manually change the configuration by editing ThemeMaster.cfg file (nbcols and nblines variables)

Thanks but it doesn't detect a new version yet. Logs report v4.11.1

Q: If you already have a menu with resolutions, why not use these resolutions to change the number of rows/cols ?

Should already be available in 4.11.1 (couldn't remembrer I'd already set the variables)

I'll have a look into it, I need to check how I can get current terminal font size in order to do it.
