Description Gabor Szabo 2016-08-12 13:00:48 UTC
Allow the user to change the font size of the application.

The regular Command-+ does not work on JMeter on OSX. If would be nice if that would work, or if at least there was a menu option to change the font size.
It is quite important for presentations.

Patch implementing the feature

Hello,
Find attached a patch that implement the following:
- 2 menu items in Options Zoom In / Zoom Out to increase/decrease font
- Improves Bug 58426 by taking into account the jmeter.hidpi.scale.factor and jmeter.hidpi.mode properties for Fonts. If jmeter.hidpi.mode is true, then the jmeter.hidpi.scale.factor will be used to increase font size

This is very useful as currently on Windows (Using Windows or Windows Classic Laf) for example, the fonts are really very tiny on a standard configuration.
This makes the UI much clearer.

Regards

As mentioned on the dev list, not all fonts seem to get scaled evenly well.

Enable zooming by pressing ctrl and using the mousewheel

This patch registers a mousewheel listener on the MainFrame, that lets the user zoom by pressing ctrl and turning the mousewheel.

It will not work on the JSyntaxTextArea :(

HI Felix,
On MacOS it does not work.

Should be fixed now, but could you re-test it, to be sure?

It works fine on Windows and MacOSX.

Thanks Graham, would you say that display improves with this feature or not on Linux Mint ?
Thanks
Comment 17 Graham Russell 2017-02-11 22:07:10 UTC
Sorry, by "before" do you mean JM 3.1 and trunk or do you mean between rev 1780244 and 1782519 or 1782571?

I've also noticed that if you use the ctrl + scrollwhell to increase it stops zooming (in or out) once a scrollbar appears and you have to zoom out (many times) using the menu before the scrollbar disappears.

Maybe this could be fixed (or at least helped) by setting a max zoom level?

You can also zoom very far out, which also doesn't seem so useful.

My current opinion of this feature on Mint is that it isn't an improvement as it stands - it appears that only some of the title text changes size.

A reset zoom option might also be very useful.

Thanks

By before I meant without zoom.

Yes , those would be helpful.
But I'd like to understand before why on different versions of Windows/Devices, display is so different. 
If nothing can be done, I'm not sure this feature should be enabled by default.

I agree.

It could be switchable but then this adds additional complexity in config, code and docs which might not be worth it?

Would another solution to the original problem (of presentations) be to use some accessibility software e.g. Windows magnifier?

I am closing this one as it has been implemented.
If somebody feels the remaining issue deserves work, the open a new enhancement request.
