| Summary | 0002324: Font scaling makes Profile->set_small_screen() less necessary | ||||
| Description | Now that Ardour's fonts are scaleable, it's quite possible for the whole GUI to fit and be workable on a 1024 x 768 display, without the hiding of UI elements that is done by Profile->set_small_screen(). | ||||
| Additional Information | Attached a patch to force font scaling to <= 72% on screens smaller than 1200 pixels across. I've found 72% allows Ardour to fit very nicely on my 1024 x 768 laptop, without Profile->set_small_screen(). If the screen is smaller than 1024 pixels across, it also retains the old behaviour of calling Profile->set_small_screen(). I suppose it could scale the fonts even smaller in this case, but I think it's unlikely anyone's running Ardour on anything less than 1024 x 768, and if they are they'll just have to scale them manually. The whole lot is inside #ifndef GTKOSX, following the comment in gtk2_ardour/option_editor.cc, line 271 that says "font scaling does nothing with GDK/Quartz". I assume that's true, but there are certainly other people who'll know better than me... | ||||
