Font size choice
« on: October 06, 2004, 09:17:57 AM »

Hi,

It would be nice to have choice for font size.
It's annoying for lists when default is too big. I'm patching sources on every release to have it decreased (looks very big on my box... don't know why).
Could you add this in preferences ?

Thanks.

Yes, this needs to be fixed (though I've luckily never had that problem myself ;)).
Out of curiosity, could you post the patches that you are using?

Considering I'm lazy, its only one line fixing size in lists ;)
I added this :    SetFont( wxFont( 10, wxDEFAULT, wxNORMAL, wxNORMAL));
at the end of CMuleListCtrl constructor.

It's only the lists that have the problem?
As I said before, I dont have that problem personally, so it's a bit hard to examine ;)
If you could take a couple of screenshots of the un-fixed interface, that would be great. ;)

Calling it a "problem" is a bit strong.... It's just annoying not to be able to decrease/increase text size.

I just set size in lists, cause it's easy to do with class inheritance, and it's where usefull  informations are to be displayed. And in a 1024 screen width, there no space to loose :)

Here is a screen of rc6 (not patched).
Maybe it looks like everyone else...

On a second look, mines too. Are you sure you can't change them on gtk themes?

Hum, I'm not good in customization... I don't know about gtk themes.
I'm using KDE3, and changing font size in control panel don't have an effect.

Only thing I can tell you is that only aMule has such large font size, every other applications running have smaller ones.

The easiest way to switch fonts for gtk is to install gtk-theme-switch. There you just click on the button on the right and you will be able to select a font.  Installing gnome-control-center just for the font seems a bit of overkill to me  ;)

Well, I installed gtk-theme-switch, without effect.
Whatever I choose as theme and font, there's no change :(

Don't know if gnome center would have an effect in KDE, but I won't try, it's a bit like killing a fly with a mortier ;)

There's an option on kde control panel that makes apps match the scheme used by kde, and you need to disable that to use gtk-theme-switch
