Flameshot: Line and text size

[kramer65]

Currently the lines are really thin and the text small. Is it possible to have some kind of slider to increase the size? Monosnap has a slider which works great. Maybe you can get some inspiration from that.

@kramer65 Just out of curiosity, is there any circumstances where mouse is not available so you cannot adjust text size / line width?

If yes, we may should implement such feature on the UI, for example in the sidebar.

Maybe the OP did not notice the fact that the scroll wheel change line / text size... Still, I never tried to use it with a touchpad (especially the ** ones with just two keys). Tomorrow I'll try.

@hosiet - As @Rmano suggested I indeed didn't realise that scrolling would change text size. I'm never using a mouse, but always on touchpad (working on a Purism Librem 13). It works ok-ish with the double scroll touchpad (not really predictable, it took me a minute to get it to the size I wanted) but since it remembers the size I'm all good now.

As a suggestion; if people have never changed the size you could maybe display a hint: _"Try scrolling to adjust the size of the lines/arrows/text"_. That would have prevented me from creating this issue, and maybe helps others getting more use out of Flameshot.

Anyway. This has again increased the awesomeness of Flameshot for me!

@kramer65 That exact hint appears every time you are making a screenshot. So you are always missing it? That's a pity :-(

@hosiet
Wow, that was stupid. I never actually read that.. :disappointed:

I guess I never read it because it doesn't look very appealing. I looks like one of those disclaimer or credential texts.

Now I read it, I just found the space bar as well. :smile:

Maybe add some symbols or screenshots to that part. For me that would make it something I would easier look at.

Anyway, thanks!

I'm in the same boat as @kramer65.

As well as being really easy to skip over, the message for me was on a different screen to the one I was taking a screenshot of. Even when I read this ticket it took me a second to find that message as I wasn't really paying attention to that screen.

On a sidenote, now that I know it exists it works great :)

I was also unaware of this functionality, and found this as the first documentation of a solution to changing line width. I suggest you add it to the project site's documentation.

[Rmano]

The only thing I would change is to have separate counters for line width, text size, etc. Now if you change text size and then select the line you have a different line width from before... it's surprising the first time, and I think a bit unexpected.
