Planner: Font size too small!

Created on 28 Apr 2020  ·  15Comments  ·  Source: alainm23/planner

Describe the missing feature
No option available to increase font size

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like so much an option to increase the size of the font. My eyes are suffering and can't enjoy this application as I would like.

Describe alternatives you've considered
An option in contextual menu
An option in configuration settings

Additional context
Here you can see how the font from the application is significantly smaller than the system one

Hi guys, sorry for not giving much attention to this issue, I'm investigating how to change the font size without affecting the design considerably, please be patient.

I'm not sure why this happens, I'm using the default font size that elementary OS uses.

Thank you very much for your response @alainm23, and thank you for creating Planner <3. I'm using big size, maybe that explains the difference, but the point is that the size in Planner remains uncomfortable to my eyes 😢️. Maybe Planner doesn’t fallow the system font size.

I also vote for option in settings to change font size. My sight is poor. Besides I use it on KDE Plasma. An option for font size would make planner independent from desktop environment settings.

Can someone tell me where is a configuration file?
I can't find it in my /home directory.
Would be great if I could change font size at least in configuration file. I desperately need to do it.

Any process on this? Even a config file should work.

@alainm23
Can you please comment on this issue? It seems as if you closed the issue without processing. I updated and I don't see any font size configuration option. For people with weak sight it is really critical issue.

+1 on this, I have started using Planner today and immediately found myself looking for a way to make the font bigger but it seems it is currently impossible

@alainm23 we love you for creating Planner but don't forget us. Would you drop here some help? I'm currently using todoist app instead of planner because of size font :(

Could this be closed in favor of https://github.com/alainm23/planner/issues/318?

Looks like these are different issues. The author of #318 doesn't mention font size.

Describe the solution you'd like
An easy option to choose a custom font from the fonts installed on your system.

As far as I understand it, it concerns font type (Arial, Noto Sans, etc.)

ahh

I hope to solve this problem with this new feature.

Please upgrade to 2.5.6 and let me know if this new feature fixes the bug.

Works for me very well. Thank you very much.

Although Preferences window still has small font, different from other areas of Planner.

By the way, this double view / double layer of Preferences window and its transparency is by design or is it a bug?
