Not sure which of this or #64 is the right one.

I need @dnks to test!

I believe this is the primary impl-point for using a “zoom-style” control over font-size driven UI scalings right?

Ahh so this is likely the meat of what we need to get git cherr-pick-ed out and tested more generally @momo if you’re interested in extending what was started in #48

@goodboy zoom functionality is working, some issues and improvements :

  • Starts at 400% zoom by default:
    • _zoom_level: float = 4.0 in piker/ui/_window.py:251
    • Should probably be 1.0 (100%) for normal startup
  • Zoom steps too aggressive
    • _zoom_step: float = 1.0 means each keypress adds/removes 100%
    • Feels too jumpy, maybe should be 0.1-0.2 (10-20% per press)?
  • Text cropping at high zoom
    • UI containers don’t resize properly when fonts get big
    • Labels get cut off, elements overlap
    • Need better layout updates or scroll areas
  • Ctrl+Shift+0 reset might not work reliably
    • Needs more testing to confirm
