I don't want to scale up all of the UI controls just so that I can have type that's readable. I can fit a lot on the screen by keeping the scaling level down and just zooming into web sites when necessary, but it's a lot harder to do that with a terminal app.
- iainmerrick 9y agoHmm, I still don't quite follow the problem, sorry. If you need to scale up the terminal text to read it, don't you still need to scale up the other parts of the UI, so you can see those too? On the Mac at least, it seems to me this stuff works reasonably well. You can set the overall scaling per-screen, and you can set the (scaled) font size used by the Terminal. It's really not clear to me why you'd need to change both the UI scaling and the font size on a particular screen.
- bshacklett 9y agoYou make a good point. I'm going to try scaling up the screen for a while and see how it goes. I can already see that the title bars, buttons, etc. are bigger than they need to be, but maybe not as bad as I originally thought.
- iainmerrick 9y agoYeah, for a while I insisted on setting my "retina" Macbook to its full resolution, but once I started using a second (non-retina) screen, I grudgingly scaled it to a more reasonable size and haven't looked back.
