Change size of slides #181

Hello,

Is there any way to change the size of objects on the screen I look at?

The notes are big and visible to me (which is nice), but I would also like to be able to read the presentation-version while looking at my own computer. Is this possible?

Best, Ellesar1

Hello Ellesar,

I'm not 100% sure what you mean with "the presentation-version", but I'm guessing you mean the thumbnails on the bottom of the screen. You can change their size indirectly via the command-line or configuration-file parameter bottom-pane-height (in percent of screen, default value is 20). Note that on narrow screens (less than around 1200 px) the width of the line may be the limiting parameter, so you might want to experiment with disabling the clocks. See dspdfviewer --help | grep clock or check the online manpage.

You can also switch your presenter screen between "Only notes page" and "Both pages" with the D key during runtime, which will look especially good if your presentation is optimized for 4:3 screens/beamer and your presenter laptop has a widescreen.

I hope that helps, and sorry for the late reply.


If you experience further problems, please provide the version of the program, as well as your operating system's, and whether you used a pre-built binary or compiled from source.

Sorry, one more thing came to mind: Also experiment with the --thumbnail-page-part (-T) option.

If you don't need thumbnails of the right half of your pdf, dspdfviewer -Tleft <pdf> may help make things larger.
