[racket-dev] Feature request - Zoom in Dr. Racket

2012-10-21 Thread Harry Spier
One thing I would find useful is a zoom feature in Dr. Racket
independent of the font size set in preferences.  I sometimes use Dr.
Racket with two windows open at the same time so I can view two
modules at the same time, one on a laptop and one on a much larger
second monitor.  But  the font size which is appropriate for the
laptop isn't for the larger monitor. (when I change font size in the
preferences it changes for both screens).

Thanks,
Harry Spier

 Checklist items for the v5.3.1 release
   (using the v5.3.0.900 release candidate build)

 Search for your name to find relevant items, reply when you finish an
 item (please indicate which item/s is/are done).  Also, if you have any
 commits that should have been picked, make sure that the changes are in.

 Important: new builds are created without announcement, usually whenever
 I pick a few commits.  If you need to commit changes, please make sure
 you tell me to pick it into the release branch.

 -- Release candidates are at
 --   http://pre.racket-lang.org/release/installers

 Please use these installers (or source bundles) -- don't test from
 your own git clone (don't test the `master' branch by mistake!).  To
 get the tests directory in such a directory, you can do this:
   cd ...racket-root...
   git archive --remote=git://git.racket-lang.org/plt.git release \
   -- collects/tests | tar x

Oh-- another thing you might try if lowering the resolution is too
annoying: start up two DrRackets. You can start one like this:

  Racket.exe -l- drracket

at the a command.com command line (you have to navigate to the
directory where DrRacket and Racket are first, tho, I think).

 Thanks Robby,

 I just lowered the resolution on the larger monitor and it works fine now.

 Cheers,
 Harry

 I realize this sounds like I'm just passing the buck, but in that
 particular configuration, can't you do something at the OS level to
 make the two monitors both be readable at the same font size? (Ie,
 won't you have this problem with every app, not just DrRacket?)
