Bigger Text and better description for the Widget

Opened this issue · 7 comments

Great app for lists, notes, and reminders! I don't know if I am missing where to resize the text in the widget but would like to. Thanks

Hello, and thank you for reaching out.

Do you want a bigger text size in the widget ?
As far as I know, most apps expect you to edit the font size in your phone's system settings, and that will apply to all things, including this app's widget.

Or is the text size in this app's widget unusually small ? In that case, can you post a screenshot ?

Here https://github.com/spacecowboy/NotePad/blob/master/documents/TUTORIAL.md#widgets I show how it's supposed to look like

Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about. The max height of notes slider doesn't do anything for me. I just wanted a bigger font for my checklist items.

As you can see from the settings, shouldn't the font be huge now from the slider all the way turned up?

No, that's due to bad wording in the settings screen.

"max height of notes, in rows" means that, if you have a very long note, let's say with 1000 words, with that slider you can choose to display only the first 3 lines, for example. So it decides how much content is displayed in the list of the widget, for each note. Raising it to the maximum value lets you see 99 rows of each note. It does not affect the text size in any way.

Now, I have 2 questions for you:

  1. the label of that slider was not clear. Can you recomment a new description for that slider, so that its function is more intuitive ? Then I will replace the original description
  2. You think the font size in the widget is too small. Since I never received feedback from anyone else, I can raise the font size to something you prefer. If it's a small change, I will definitely do it. So, how big would you like the text to be ? Give me a number in % of the original size, where 200% means that I make it twice as big.

I will rename the label of the slider in the widget settings,
but I don't have the time to add a custom font size slider and then test it.

I will close this issue when I release the next app version with the edits you recommended.
It will take a while, though.

Ok. Thanks for doing this.
