Key Label Font Size
View

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
The application keeps getting better and better, and this is one of the finest beta programs I`ve ever enrolled to. But I have one request: Would it be possible to add an option to enlarge the fonts of the Key labels display?

I am using it on a 19"inch, 1440x900 LCD WS monitor from a 6 feet distance and it is impossible to read the key assignments. On large displays this would not be a problem, but this will help us poor guys with small rooms and displays ;-)

Hello Eduardo,

thanks for your feedback.

That's not as easy as it may seem due to the layout of the menu and 
graphics. I'll see what can be done, though.

Was the previous preview's menu more readble for you (since the fonts 
were all bold in that one)?

Best regards, 
Felix

Hello Felix,

The former layout was a tad more readable, but not enough to justify a 
rollback, the current one is far more useful. 
It's not that all is unreadable, only the labels for the remote keys. 
Maybe a change in colors? We know that yellow-on-black is the highest 
contrast combination, but would that spoil the screen layout? 
Thanks for the reply,

Eduardo

Hello Eduardo,

yes, yellow on black would probably totally spoil the look .. if I 
think back to the eighties, the Amiga used white, black and orange on 
dark blue to achieve best readability on TV screens. Although, this 
might still be true, this would probably look terrible today :-)

I'll think about more solutions, though. Feel free to drop me a note 
if it remains unreadable with the next two releases.

Best regards, 
Felix
