Massive font size - fightnight - 2016-03-11 Hi, Thanks for your great work. I have one feature request. Bigger fonts for old CRT's TVs and small screen devices. Estuary is an beautiful skin but is impossible to use on CRT's. Take a look at confluence's massive mode. https://github.com/notspiff/kodi-cmake/b...l#L87-L170 It works great and it is simple. RE: Massive font size - phil65 - 2016-03-11 It´s impossible to write a nice skin for a CRT and a "proper" HD TV at the same time. For CRTs I suggest to switch skins. RE: Massive font size - qp9013625 - 2016-04-17 Other people in the feature requests thread have asked for larger font sizes as well, see: (2016-03-09, 18:29)JustinBeaird Wrote:(2016-03-06, 17:30)Ed76 Wrote:(2016-03-06, 16:52)shadow Wrote: Would it be possible to give people the option of using larger text on the screen? I have a 60 inch TV and the smaller of the text like episode and movie descriptions I have to squint to read. I ended up manually modifying Font.xml and in the first normal fonts just changing any number under 30 to 30 then I was able to read everything. The size of the font is too small and AFAICT it can no longer be increased in the settings. Any chance you could make the font size bigger? Estuary is nice and is an improvement over Confluence, but the font size still is too small (it was also too small in Confluence). It would be nice if this could be addressed. Regards RE: Massive font size - rodalpho - 2016-04-18 Completely agree, I run Kodi on a small TV in my bedroom and need the large font size in Confluence, which is fine for me, to read it. Your mileage (and eyesight) may vary! RE: Massive font size - qp9013625 - 2016-04-19 Yes, it's not just about CRTs, but also about smaller HDTVs. Not everyone is using 60 inch HDTVs with a short viewing distance. On smaller HDTVs and/or larger viewing distances, the font size is too small. @ phil65: It would be really nice if you could do something about that. Regards RE: Massive font size - Palexxtra - 2016-04-19 Completely agree RE: Massive font size - qp9013625 - 2016-04-27 People on the blog are also asking for larger font sizes, see: https://kodi.tv/a-brand-new-look-for-future-kodi-versions/ So, any update?

RE: Massive font size - rodalpho - 2016-04-27 Weird, Confluence seemed to handle it just fine. And just to reiterate, we're talking about smaller HDTVs here, not CRTs. I have a small HDTV in my bedroom running Kodi on a FireTV, and need the larger font size setting in Confluence to read it from my bed.

Yeah, and to be precise, even the large font size in Confluence is still small on a small HDTV.

RE: Massive font size - qp9013625 - 2016-05-07 Any update? A larger font size is a must. Please stop dismissing it as something unimportant. RE: Massive font size - Palexxtra - 2016-05-07 Also for me..."A larger font size is a must. Please stop dismissing it as something unimportant." RE: Massive font size - schumi2004 - 2016-05-08 Just modify Font.xml in 1080i folder yourself and increase every value with for example 10 and test how it looks for you. /edit: Or better make a copy of the complete default fontset (<fontset id="Default" idloc="15109"> </fontset>) in side Font.xml , rename to BIG or whatever you want and increase values. Examples here http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=179262&highlight=massive RE: Massive font size - Ed76 - 2016-05-08 thanks, but since this is kodis new "default" skin it should be possible to read the text without modifying xml-files. thats why the feature request. |
