Copyq: Large unmodifiable fonts after upgrade to 3.12.0

[elig0n]

Describe the bug
After upgrading to 3.12.0 my theme selection was reset. While this can be changed back easily I did not succeed changing the items list font which has gotten too big to read properly. Under Appearance settings all fonts are less than size 10 and yet the fonts are humungous.

Version, OS and Environment
Windows 10

That could be an issue with style sheets. Specifically, the second line in themes/items.css (in installation folder) sets the font. You can try manually change ;${font} to ;font-size: 8pt and restart the app to see if it changed (going to configuration dialog and clicking OK button should also apply the style sheet changes).

Otherwise it could be a scaling issue in Qt.

[elig0n]

Apparently I had a custom font-size setting under items.css in AppData\Roaming\copyq\themes which used to work fine.
But of now any font-size larger than 9 gets 'cut' because it's higher than the line that displays it.

I don't know if this is the same bug?:
I just installed Ubuntu 20.04 on a new partition, then I installed CopyQ v3.10.0 and configured a few things. Then suddenly the font size seemed VERY small. I am not 100% sure if it had actually changed, but I think so. So in Preferences under Appearance I started pressing the 'Abc'-buttons and changing the font size, but my changes were ignored by CopyQ, whether I checked "Set colors for tabs, tool bar and menus" or not.

Can you check if CSS files are properly installed and not overridden?

The *.css files are usually installed in /usr/share/copyq/themes and overridden in ~/.config/copyq/themes/ (initially, this directory doesn't contain any *.css files).

See: https://copyq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/theme.html#style-sheets

Hi hluk!
This forum seems to be unstructured/unthreaded, so I don't know if you are talking to me. But here is my answer:
/usr/share/copyq/themes contains 8 *.ini files.
~/.config/copyq/themes/ contains nothing.

THIS IS EXACTLY my Problem w/ latest CopyQ also,
under UBUNTU 20.04.4...

Suddenly,
all the font sizes (CopyQ UI menus and copied items f/clipboard),
have become tiny.
Just like the above User,
I tried _increasing the Font Sizes_
in the [abc] buttons under Appearances.

But none of my new (larger) font sizes "takes".
_ie:_

• as soon as I click [OK] and then [Apply],
  my font size size settings are forgotten
  and the old, original font sizes reappear...

I think CopyQ is a WONDERFUL program.
But isn't there a _simple way_ to set the font sizes
of the UI and the copied items?.

Checked the Manual
and the Q&As, but none work for me.

HELP! Can't increase the font sizes,
they are too small to read... :-(

@HeRo002 @sfd99 The original issue is about CopyQ 3.12.0 on Windows. You problem seems to be different. Please open a new issue.

@elig0n Not sure if other change in css files can cause this. It could be caused by couple of things:

• "Maximum height in pixels" option for Text plugin in Item configuration tab.
• Items are HTML-formatted with some line-height limit (to inspect formats, select an item and press F4 key).
• Some max-height or other property in css files.

It looks to me that it was font-size in items.css (the one in AppData).
