Scale panel to bigger size

[olja1976]

It would be great that we can scale size of panels with text to be larger for us with sight problems. As a Windows 10 user I can set in Display settings to have larger text and panels but that usually mess up everything else like icons on desktop, they take all desktop space..Is there any hope in future that Affinity Team add this feature? Sorry for my English

Several years of requests and complaints about tiny icons and minuscule fonts have not brought any fixes for the deficiencies in the Affinity user interface. The problem continues to worsen as users age and as more people work on high definition monitors. Of the several dozen programs I use, including photo editors that compete with APhoto, only the Affinity apps impose severe readability problems on its users.

As you have found, using Settings/System/Display to scale the entire display is fraught with problems and not recommended. Settings/Ease of Access can by more helpful, but it will not change the size of icons, nor the size of text in the panels. Other text problems can be improved, however.

(I'm surprised no one else responded to your post for three days.)

Thank you for your respond, it is really strange that they did not reconsider our requests, it would so much easer to work in Affinity
