It is possible to modify the graphical style (font size being the most
obvious parameter) by defining changes from the default in a gnubg.gtkrc
file in %HOMEPATH%\.gnubg (Windows) or $HOME/.gnubg (Linux).
The simplest such file would contain something like:
style "default"
{
font_name = "12"
}
Default size is 10 ; 14 may be better for you, or even 16 although I
find the latter is a bit large for many parts of the GUI and doesn't
look very good.
The https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnubg.git/tree/gnubg.gtkrc file
defines what is used as defaults for other elements and gives examples
of what can be done.
This file seems to date from when screen definitions were lower (note
the comment:
#uncomment to make default font smaller
#font_name = "9"
as if the default 10pt font was looking large back then :-).
I tried various font sizes on both a 1920x1080 screen and a 1366x768
laptop and think 12pt looks better than the current 10pt. I would be
inclined to change the default to 12.
I'd be interesting in feedback from those of you who may experiment with
this, especially if you:
- have a screen with better than 1080 vertical definition
- tried more ambitious style changes
