Is it possible to change to BIG FONTS for G’MIC UI and filter list?
I’m using 175% on a 1080p 27" monitor and big text on UI to make reading program user interfaces and list texts convenient with glasses.
As you can see compared to Win11 UI & GIMP font size, the G’MIC UI is small… https://i.ibb.co/210j28W0/Small-GMIC-UI-font.png
Attempted compiling GMIC for GIMP. From this page:
Followed instructions. Compile created the EXE, but after that when starting the exe in GIMP it started to ask for countless DLLs and when I copied 500MBs of DLLs and it still asked for more DLLs, I gave up. Uninstalled msys64. :(((((
UNIX or Linux has central QT config and there you can allegedly set larger global UI QT font size. GIMP UI-function also intervenes, when you click into a listed filter to rename it, the edited rename-field instantly becomes the large GIMP font, but when pressing ENTER = finishing the rename edit, it goes back to the small G’MIC font.
I dunno if the developer’s are not aging, - past 45? - their eyes don’t get strained? Or are they writing code on 70" monitors/TVs?
I found a font entry in \src\Tags.cpp saying if (_menuIcons[iColor].isNull()) {
** QPixmap bg(64, 64);**
** QFont font;**
** font.setPixelSize(60);**
I wanted to experiment with setting the values to
** QPixmap bg(128, 128);**
** QFont font;**
** font.setPixelSize(120);**
What happens? But unfortunately the default compile instructions with the makefile create an EXE, which just keeps asking for a lot more than the release 24 DLLs.
I thought compiling will mean I get a correctly running EXE and need just replace the EXE in the G’MIC for GIMP folder and GIMP will automatically start G’MIC with the changes.
But of course you have to be an experienced coder of this package to
make it stop asking for DLLs and
start correctly just like the official release build starts.
