Not a solution to the default, but my ButtonBar for NetSurf has grow and
shrink buttons (because I couldn't ever remember the key short-cuts).

Enter Ctrl-W on the keyboard. This sets the magnification to 150%.
The magnification persists if you follow links including in a new 
window, but not if you open a new window from the icon bar.

I can't see anything in Choices that sets the default magnification 
(perhaps a feature request would be in order) but increasing the 
default and minimum font sizes might be help.

I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.

Yes it does. There is an entry in choices: Scale:150 . Ctrl-W is a 
quicker route to 150%. It's useful for enlarging photos on the screen
(goes to 150 - 200 - 300% and more). Ctrl-Q reduces the magnification 
correspondingly.

 when in Netsurf will bring up the "Scale view" dialogue; I imagine
you know this already but to make this the default you need to 
over the NetSurf window and in the "Display" sub menu click on "Save as
default". Good luck!

Web page magnification

2017-01-02 Thread David H Wild 
I am having problems reading because of a cataract which needs removing,

i find that I can read the screen fairly well if I increases the
magnification to 150%. Is there any way of telling NetSurf that this is how
I want all pages?

Thanks.
