[TW5] TiddlyDesktop & ZoomLevel

[Tobias Beer]

How can I change the default zoom-level in the Browser TiddlyDesktop provides?

With that hd-panel on my laptop I have set all browsers to a default zoom-level of 150%.

I do not mind editing *.ini files or the likes.

Best wishes, Tobias.

Hi Tobias,

Edit package.json.

Edit package.json.

How exactly?

I tried adjusting...

 "width": 1920,
 "height": 1080,

...to no avail.

Best wishes, Tobias.

Hi Tobias,

That's strange. I cannot remember I changed more than width and height but for completeness here is my package.json:

{
    "name": "TiddlyWiki",
    "main": "./html/main.html",
    "chromium-args": "--enable-experimental-web-platform-features",
    "window": {
        "icon": "images/app_icon.png",
        "toolbar": false,
        "width": 1280,
        "height": 1040,
        "min_width": 700,
        "min_height": 500
    },
    "webkit": {
        "plugin": true
    }
}

I can change width and height with the expected result.

Cheers,

Ton

Hi Tobias,

Any progress?

There is an even better and more flexible alternative (for Windows): Winsplit Revolution (freeware).

WinSplit Revolution is a small utility which allows you to easily organize your open windows. WinSplit Revolution is especially useful for high-end LCD screens with high resolutions because it helps you to efficiently manage many active windows.

Although discontinued, the latest version v11.04 is still available e.g. at [1]

It is one of my favourite (portable) programs since I have a widescreen monitor.
Attached the Help in the past available at http://www.winsplit-revolution.com/

Cheers,

Ton

Hi Ton,

I'd rather not use any such apps when there is a cross-platform tw browser adaptation the engine of which sure comes with zooming capabilities. Also, I'd like to use TiddlyDesktop with a maximized window and the ability to CTRL+ / CTRL- / CTRL0 the window as in any other browser implementing the same engine.

Best wishes, Tobias.

Hi Tobias

There is a quick and dirty hack for this. Locate the file "html/host.html" within the TiddlyDesktop executable, and then add the following to the top of the style definition around line 38:

#twFrame {

-webkit-transform: scale(1.5);

-webkit-transform-origin: 0 0;

}

Best wishes

Jeremy.

...good (to know) that things are as simple as that. Something tells me I may have even figured that one out myself. ^^

Best wishes, Tobias.

Hi Tobias

By the way, there's a ticket for adding a zoom UI to TiddlyDesktop:

Thanks, haven't yet had that closer look at the TiddlyDesktop repo.

Makes sense the issue would have long been listed, even twice...

I have added your instructions to #30.

Best wishes, Tobias.
