stupid interface tricks

[Rob McBroom]

After seeing this hint, I thought I’d give it a try on Quicksilver.

To double the size of the entire application, quit Quicksilver and run this:

defaults write com.blacktree.quicksilver AppleDisplayScaleFactor 2

It didn’t work well with my usual interface (BezelHUD), but for something like Primer, it worked surprisingly well and the text looks great at double-size. Unfortunately, the menu bar icon (if you have it) is also doubled, which looks awful.

To revert to normal, quit Quicksilver and run this:

defaults delete com.blacktree.quicksilver AppleDisplayScaleFactor
