Hi all,
I am using the qlcplus Version 4.12.4 and have a general question.
Is there a way to increase the font size in the 2D view? The font size below a device is so small, it's nearly unreadable...for old men
When I use the mouse and move over a device, than it's OK. But it would be easier if I could increase it permanent.
Does somebody has got an idea?

Hello,
I have the same issue with the font size in the 2D view.
We us it in our theater for operating controle and I think it's to small for normal use. I always have to lean to the screen to read the text. I sometime made a background picture with the DMX adresses at the same spots, but this is very tedious.
I tried to figure out if there is a solution with customizing the GUI for the 2D view, but I can't find it.
Maybe someone with more experiance can ssist?
Is there an easy solution to change the font size in the 2D view?
Thanks for help.
Greetings

I think it's not possible at this time - the 2d view label fontsize is set in ui/src/monitorfixtureitem.cpp, constructor, line 59 in current git, and it is being set to a value of 8 via setPixelSize(). If I understand correctly it cannot be altered by style sheet, and some refactoring would be involved to make it configurable, as currently this value is getting imposed everytime a new monitor fixture item is generated.
A simpler possibility would be to agree upon a font size and change the hardcoded value in the source file. I also tried and changed setPixelSize() to setPointSize(), which increases resulting fontsize a little bit, but to make it comfortably readable on my 17" 1600x900 laptop screen (approximately 106 ppi) I even had to increase the value to 12.
