Google-play-music-desktop-player-unofficial-: Zoomlevel isn't persistent after last update

[tuur29]

OS: Windows 10

Issue Descriptions:
Zooming in or out with ctrl+ or ctrl- works but the zoom level resets after you close the program. It also resets every xx minutes. I'm guessing the website reloads every now and again to stay recent.

With me, when i try to resize it, it then puts it back to what it was + the action i did!

Oh yeah, I didn't notice that at first. I tried to play around with it a bit and I that this is what's happening:

1. the zoom level is saved when zooming (even between sessions)
2. the visible and actual zoom level is always 100% at startup
3. a few seconds after startup the page refreshes and loads the actual zoom level (but doesn't show it)
4. when you zoom after this, you change the actual level and force it to display it

So an example: say you previously had it at 90%, right after startup you zoom to 80% (it also saves), a few seconds later the page refreshes and shows you 100%, you zoom out once and now it's immediately at 70%.

Hey guys,

I've been looking into this quite a lot and it appears to be an issue in Electron but I can't narrow it down to a minimum reproducible example so I can't raise the issue yet.

I'll try work on this some moe today.

Yes, on mac is the same error:
Step to reproduce:

1. Run app.
2. Hold CTRL and +
3. After it is big enough, close app.
4. Start app.
5. Zoom level is 100% than declared previous.
6. Hold CTRL and click once + or - to restore previous zoom level with additional change based on clicked + or -
   Version: 3.5.0

Some news, I have tracked the issue upstream to Electron

For the time being, here's a workaround. In the desktop settings, you can supply an additional CSS file. Use that feature, create a file somewhere, and just put a CSS scale in there.

html { zoom: 0.75; }

No longer an issue?

[Alipoodle]

Not 100% sure, as I believe I've had some zoom issues, although I'll leave it at some stupid zoom for a while so I can see if it has changed after using it for about an hour / 2.

[Alipoodle]

Been using for last 2 hours (and been fixing an issue for the theme) and Zoom is still persistant, even with Refresh and Restart.

I can confirm this issue is resolved. Zoomlevel stays the same after hours.
