Let the user specify a zoom factor, but then 12pt text zoomed by a factor X is the same on every display.
There is some issue with how this should interact with certain things (like touch distance). Should two buttons that are 2cm apart be 4cm or 2cm apart after scaling by a factor of two?
There is a fringe case of a display-based ruler, that essentially shouldn't zoom.
- mark-r 9y agoIdeally you'd want 2 zoom factors, one for visuals and one for touch. But then you'd potentially have buttons that couldn't hold their labels anymore. I think one zoom factor should be sufficient. Given that we can't support actual-size rulers today, I think we've demonstrated that we can live without them. P.S. for low resolution displays it's obvious that clear text and graphics is more important than absolute size.
