[Touch-packages] [Bug 1290505] Re: Display devices UI scale should scale fonts and buttons too
[Expired for unity (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.] ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Expired -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290505 Title: Display devices UI scale should scale fonts and buttons too Status in Unity: Expired Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: First, thank you very much for this option! I use (and maintain) Ubuntu on a lot of older computers with resolutions of 1024x768, 1366x768 and 1280x800, and the first complaint I often get from new users is everything is so big. This is good if you have Full HD screens with very small pixels, but bad if you don't. So I install Ubuntu Tweak, reduce font sizes and Dash icon sizes and so on. The UI Scale option is a very welcome addition to the list of settings that Ubuntu offers. However, it is a little buggy: if I reduce the UI scale to e.g. 0.875 (btw: why the 1/8 scaling? Why not 5% or 10% instead of 12.5%?), many things don't fit any more: - Dash tooltips - ubuntu-bug progress window buttons - etc. It should be verified that at least the default apps' texts and buttons still fit in their respective windows. Also, would it be feasible to make this a zoom factor slider that - allows finer control (5% steps)? Anything below 80% and above 120% is probably only for Retina displays. So, maybe 5% steps between 50% and 200% are feasible? - automatically adjusts the text scaling factor accordingly, like the Advanced Settings app and Ubuntu Tweak can do - maybe automatically adjusts the Dash icon size? Thank you!
