Feature Request: more control over the font size
#1607
Today:
Maccy attempts to look like the rest of macOS, so it uses the same font size - a solid architectural choice but…
The Problem:
Some of us elder folk would prefer a bigger font.
The simple workaround of changing the display resolution or the system font across the board can be quite sub-optimal - "one-size-fits-all" is not always true across all apps.
Apple's Way
Apple has recognized this and introduced "System Settings > Accessibility > Display > Text Size" - it controls the font of the compliant Apple apps, but Maccy is not on the list. Even for the apps on the list Apple still gives the user control over the font size directly within the app.
Feature request:
A mechanism for the users to change Maccy's font size. A plist in the discussions suggests that such mechanism existed in Maccy in 2024 in some form. A simple drop-down in Preferences would do the trick. Or a finer integration with Apple's current Accessibility features would work - I am a user, so it's not my place to dictate the implementation details.
Those who expect to age over time would support this request, trivial as it might seem :-)
