Add option to scale down / zoom out ui #179

Closed TotalChaos05 closed 7 months ago

TotalChaos05 commented 1 year ago

I'm currently running the supersonic flatpak on opensuse with xwayland. I havea 1920x1080 screen, but the app still takes up almost the entire screen, even in windowed.

It's slightly hacky but you can change the scale of the app using the FYNE_SCALE environment variable. Try FYNE_SCALE=0.85 or so. Fyne, the UI library, is supposed to be DPI-aware but there are still some rough edges on some systems

I added a setting for this to the "Experimental" tab and it will be in the upcoming 0.8.0 release

This does not appear to be working.

I'm operating off a pretty tiny phone screen (720x1440), and fyne is absolutely breaking at this resolution. The "Smallest" scale option isn't close to small enough, and the FYNE_SCALE variable changes absolutely nothing. As an added bonus, I'm on a tiling WM, meaning that whenever I try to click a button within the application, the window moves around, or something like that, making it pretty unusable. Fyne really doesn't like this screen size...

Could you implement a percentage scale instead of a scale based on three predefined sizes?

dweymouth commented 5 months ago

I could switch to a percentage scaling factor (note internally it's just setting FYNE_SCALE for the process - which could be why setting it yourself isn't working, try leaving UI scaling as normal in Supersonic). But it seems like you're running it on a phone? Do note that while Fyne supports mobile platforms, Supersonic does not, and it's possible that more things could be broken. (Though if you could help contribute and make it more mobile-friendly, of course that would be appreciated!)

Well it's half phone half computer haha I'm in the process of turning my linux phone into an actually usable experience, and since my battery drains quickly I needed to find a more light-weight navidrome-compatible streaming client, since browsers are resource hogs. This project is awesome, it looks good, has wonderful performance and has nice large touch encouraging buttons - it's just that the UI doesn't like the form factor.

Setting the scale to 'Normal' and then using FYNE_SCALE=0.6 works like a charm! That's the scale that works best for me.

Thanks for the tip!

There's stuff that's only accessible via right-click (like the tracklist context menu to add to playlist, etc). On a platform that Fyne actually recognizes as mobile (iOS or Android), a long tap is dispatched as a right-click, but I wonder if this is true for your case.

doesn't appear to be working OOTB but I think I'll just add a keybind to press RMB for me so I don't think that'll be an issue
