Is it possible to configure the fonts? #48

Closed igorsantos07 closed 11 years ago

igorsantos07 commented 11 years ago

I've just installed the app in my new computer, but the text is quite small. What are the fonts it uses? They look smaller than the other apps, and it's not the same font as well. Is there a way to configure it?

All of the UI in the app is made of web views, so the fonts are actually set by Facebook. There's a "Zoom" option described in the README that will probably solve your problem, though. I should probably split off the settings that I expect the user to edit from the internal data the app is storing, but right now it's the same file, so make sure to quit the app before you edit it :)

Another thing that might be worth trying is adding some sort of User Stylesheet option, so you could supply your own CSS. Maybe include one or two examples for fun.

Awesome! That solved my issue.

Yes, a separate file would be better. There's a lot of stuff in that json file and "mess with" is correctly a good verb to describe what the users would do with the file. haha

Custom stylesheets would be cool but I would add this to a "wishlist", since is certainly not a needed feature. haha

Lastly and totally out of topic: is there any idea when we would be able (if we would) to send files and do other things we can in the web interface, like see pictures directly and stuff?

The Facebook endpoints we rely on (the ones from https://www.facebook.com/about/messenger) aren't being actively developed right now, so I'm afraid we're not going to get any new features in the UI unless that changes.

Ohhh! Got it now. I thought it was a webview of the original web chat. Haha that explains, thanks! On Oct 11, 2013 4:49 AM, "oconnor663" notifications@github.com wrote:
