Feature Request: Font Scaling #3

Closed windowsrefund closed 5 years ago

windowsrefund commented 5 years ago

While I suspect this is a QT-related shortcoming/annoyance, I'm just taking a wild stab at submitting this feature request. Would be so sweet to have some kind of slider or something to be able to increase font size as needed.

Thanks again for this awesome tool.

N/M, just discovered the Qt5 Theme Settings tool

I may have spoke too soon as Konfyt doesn't appear to honor my font settings?

noedigcode commented 5 years ago

While I'm looking into this - on a hdpi monitor you can scale the whole GUI by setting the environment variable QT_SCALE_FACTOR, e.g.

export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2
konfyt

This scales the whole GUI, however it sounds like you just want to make the fonts bigger. Will look into it.

Yea, I tried that a few days ago as well but that just blows the entire GUI up. Earlier today, I came across QT_FONT_DPI which I intend to muck with later. Perhaps that will have the desired effect. I'll report back...

Closing as I've decided to just get used to the font size :)

The testing branch now uses your Qt system font and should behave properly with different font sizes.
