What platform are you running Path of Building on?

Windows

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Please give us a way to increase the font size. This is nearly unusable on my computer with a 2k monitor. I know I'm older, and have bad eyes, but this is just beyond tiny.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like the ability to control the font size in the options.

Describe alternatives you've considered

You can us the magnifier in Windows, but that makes going back and forth between POE and POB a giant pain.

Have you tried increasing the scaling % in Windows settings ("Make everything bigger")?

If it was easy to enable in-app scaling we would've done it many years ago. Sorry!

[Kirizan]

Unfortunately I'm not rescaling my entire computer because one application is unable to change it's font sizes. Where in the source code is the font size configured, I'll just make my own fork and fix it myself.

Best of luck.

Technically on every DrawString call there is a font size parameter, but nothing else on the UI grows with it, so it ends up looking like crap. If there was an easy way to fix that we would've done it by now. Feel free to submit a PR if you find one though!

What I'm hearing is the app needs a ground up rebuild to fix this issue, does that sound right?

[LocalIdentity]

@Kirizan Yep, its a massive amount of work

[Kirizan]

That's unfortunate. I guess I just won't use PoB, since the splitting headache I get trying to read anything on this app isn't worth it, and I don't have time to learn C++ and rebuild the app from scratch. Hopefully one of the build guide platforms integrates the calculations into their website so people with modern monitors can also use it. Thank you for your quick responses, best of luck in the future!
