Lister - Größe der Font bei 4k Monitor

Post by *retroactive »

Hallo,

ich habe eine Auflösung von 3840x2169 und 250% Scaling.
Total Commander an sich kommt damit gut zurecht aber wenn ich F3 drücke also der Lister startet ist die Schrift winzig. Kann man da irgendwo ein Scaling einschalten oder die Font grösser stellen?

Danke für die Hilfe.

Same exact problem

Seconded. It wasn't a stupid question at all -- I looked in this dialog box several times and could not figure out how to change the font size.
I searched the forum before posting a bug report, and only because I have a passable understanding of the German language (native Swede.. can't speak but understand German OK) was I able to understand this post and the answer!

A couple of things:

As a software engineer and user interface designer, the [...] is absolutely not clear. It could easily say "Select Font" -- that would completely fix the user interface issue and make it obvious what the button does. I think this text could easily fit -- it's a big button.

The real problem is why we have to select a custom font to begin with.
The TC main window pays attention to the system DPI and scales the fonts accordingly, so even though the font size is 8, the fonts get scaled 200% and are perfectly readable.

The lister does not pay attention to the system DPI, but the main window does.

Wouldn't it be easy enough to make the lister pay attention to this as well?

Thank you for an excellent product which I could not imagine living without!

Mit Freundliche Grüße,
Leif

Ein dpi-Bug des Konfigurieren-Dialogs selbst? In normaler Auflösung steht 'Schrift ändern' auf den Knöpfen.

It could have been, but that's not it. Dialog Box looks the same in Windows XP at 96 DPI. The buttons say only [ ... ]

This is the "Lister" configuration dialog, not the main one.

After you've selected a font, the font name is shown on the button.
It would be an easy programming change to make it say "Change Font" instead of [ ... ]

Ah ok, then I can't see that 'bug'. Most probably selected fonts 10 years ago already...

I didn't, because the default fonts were fine until I bought 4K monitors yesterday. :)
