Big difference in font sizes

Post by thany2 »

The font-szes throughout the app are quite diverse:

The font-size of the main menu is the correct one. That one is equal to, for example, the text on my desktop icons. The smallish-looking font looks too small to me, as if it tries to be the correct size, but isn't quite there yet.

Can you please make font-sizes equal throughout the app, and only increase or decrease where it makes semantic sense? It's important to know that in this case I happen to start XnView MP on a remote desktop. On a native desktop, fonts look okay.

As for my system:
Windows 10 21H1
XnView MP 0.99.1
4K monitor, zoomed to 250%

NB: The remote desktop has no setting for font zooming, this is forced by the client connecting to it.
NNB: You don't need a physical 4K screen to test this. Any high-ish resolution will do - the zoom factor is important, not the amount of physical pixels.
Using Windows 10 21H1 and loving it. Cheers!

I also experience unevenness in the font size. I like XNView MP but at my age some of the fonts are squint-eye size and too small to be comfortable to read. There should be some control in XnView MP's application Settings / General or /View which will allow adjustment to change font sizes. The submenu font sizes (i.e., Batch Convert) are too small.

There is an issue in QT library when using non decimal scaling like 125,150,175%
