E16: New feature: Dynamically configured font sizes

Well, I'm only looking at the tool/address-bar as websites themselves can be zoomed and chromium doesn't have an E16 title-bar.
Without the --no-chrome option looks to give best result.
In all cases the tool itself looks awful requiring a manual resize to be useful when set to "your screen". :thinking:

the problem is that everything resizes nicely, except chrome, which looks "too big", so the only solution is to resize-it-down to what should be its original settings

yep, the changes are not related to the titlebar, only the visualized pages (zoom factor on them)

Which should, in fact not be a consideration as a zoom level can be manually set with Ctrl, +/-

I use the terminal or the menu fonts as a way of seeing what the size does to my eyes in a new setting. That's reasonably reliable. :nod:

yeah but this is exactly how it is meant that they should be configured (ok, maybe we should remove that option?) i mean, they are very huge for sure, but it is mean to be this way, also notice that even windows uses exactly the same scaling by default without asking (that so big one, "your screen", which looks horrible), in other words, have you recently installed a windows 10? the screens looks so wasted with that default "your screen" setting...

note that it also says "recommended" in the middle (users should pick this one), so maybe "your screen" should be renamed to something more friendly like "wasted" ?

"your screen" basically means that this is the setting your screen should be configured to have the same result as the common "96 dpi" traditional screens, but of course since then, all the applications and stuff increased the dimensions of the buttons / fonts in order to not be so small, so all the small defaults has actually changed to a big bigger, that's why this option doesn't looks so good in the actual OSes / apps

Same thing just happened to me. Re-installed from ISO of last october on a new USB disk.
The terminal text is so tiny that we only see dots and I couldn't resize it.

After elive-upgrader and one "apug", it came back as before, but reconfiguration of the desktop worked. I can see what I type on terminology now.

Also I was affraid that my encryption keys would not be writable since I'm using a french canadian keyboard and I have a character "@" in my key that is usually not at the same place on a US keyboard. It would help those using other than US keyboard to have a possibility to see what is typed for the encryption key of the disk or have access to a visual keyboard to be sure we type correctly.

I just had mistyped the first time, everything was OK for the keyboard.

Good job I'm back on Elive on a USB disk
(my laptop disk has OpenSUSE Thumbleweed KDE)
but I'm always curious to see and experience other desktops.

I thought I had written a Howto on that already but after some searching..... Looks like I didn't. :face_with_thermometer:

I added the link in the Howto https://forum.elivelinux.org/t/resetting-password-using-chroot-on-encrypted-lvm-filesystem so as to make it findable when searching the forum.

In time we could add a specific Howto ourselves if needed.

I mean, who would look for LUKS password changing under "dynamic fonts"? :madness:
