About Text Size of Instances' Labels

Software darktable
1

Hello everyone!
I got a struggle to read some special texts in DT Gui. Mostly the Labels of my module instances.

My Monitor has 2560x1440 resolution at 100% scaling.

I tried bigger font/dpi but not satisfied with the clarity/readability

Any other way to tweak tose labels?

Thank you!

Here are some examples:

In preferences you can change fonts and font size. The whole theme is controlled by CSS, so you can also add overrides there

I don’t want all text to get bigger. This would make the screen busy. Even 9pt is good for main text. I only need some cleaner names next to the module instances.

Try adding this to your CSS (in Preferences → General) then click Save and Apply:


#iop-module-name
{
  font-size: 1em;
}

We had a discussion about this several months ago, but didn’t come to an agreement due to the fact that the same sizes look quite different on Mac, Windows, and Linux, and intermediate sizes and hintings are not all rendered differently.

@finestructure thank soo much!
I also added a line to make the name bold. Now I can keep it small (0.8) and readable !

5.4 messed this up for me on Windows 11. Clean install of both. I have the same resolution (2560x1440 resolution at 100% scaling.)

Here is the thread.

This is where I landed. Seems OK on 5.6.0. I haven’t tried to un-do any of this. If it ain’t broke …
