Separate fonts for Status Bar and Configuration Window

Post by Evolve »

Increasing the status bar font size up to 12 makes my eyes happy.

Unfortunately, the configuration window font size is being increased automatically.

My wish is to be able to setup those two fonts independently.

Which font size are you using with the main font?

Main Content: Segoe UI 14,25
Buttons and Labels: Segoe UI 12

It does not matter what the Main font is, it's the Buttons and Labels being shared between the Configuration Windows and the Status Bar.

There are fonts not presented in GUI

One more tweak would do
StatusbarFontMilliSize=

Why not just increase the Windows custom text scaling?

PS: Whatever, the next beta provides a separate control of the status bar font size.

Thank you making this change in the latest beta. It works great. A recent eye injury has forced me to increase font sizes in Windows, games, apps, etc. and the way you've implemented the CTRL+MOUSEWHEEL is everything is wonderful. So easy to use, thank you.

@Don: It was probably intentional, but FYI I noticed that my SB font size automatically increased when I upgraded, it seems to use Main Contents instead of B&L size.

@jupe: StatusBar has its own font size now: StatusBarFontMilliSize, it does not depend on neither of both you've mentioned.

Still the value has to be initialized to something, and that something was the wrong something.

Not sure if this is going to be helpful, or if it is even related to this topics recent change, but I have noticed my SB randomly keeps becoming extra high with padding underneath the text/icons, the buttons/font size stays the same just the overall height increases, eg:

anything that causes a full window (not pane) repaint, such as resizing the window, returns it to normal again though. Just thought I would mention it in case you had an inkling of a cause, since I don't have repro steps yet.

Never seen this here, so I assume it is related to your 125% screen scaling. I'll check that later.

Yeah as I said it seems random, I will try and get repro steps and get back to you.

@Don: I noticed that now if you Ctrl+Wheel SB, Error 380 occurs.

FYI I still can't get repro steps for above enlarged statusbar issue, but it is still occurring, I'll keep trying though. If you are interested in a theory though, the issue looks like it mimics the splitter width being size 9, possibly the splitter is becoming visible even with the IP panel minimized
