The help function,

The help function is very extensive, but I think it is a drawback that you cannot enlarge the text. There is valuable information, but the text is so small that you automatically stop reading because it is very tiring. I would appreciate it if something was done about this. Anyone who agrees with this please give it a thumbs up, maybe it will work.

On my Win 11 laptop I can increase the font size of the help file using a standard two finger 'zoom out' gesture on the trackpad.  I guess that on my Win 10 desktop PC the view would zoom if I rolled the mouse wheel.  I don't know for sure though as I've not tried it.

Ctrl-+ also works, I believe, on my Windows system.

There also the online Help, of course, at https://affinity.help if you're connected to the network.

You can also read the help stuff online here, and in pretty every webbrowser you can zoom in/out as desired in order to read even the smallest texts in a more comfortable manner (...especially useful for those with aged eyes).

Thanks for the tip, I have a normal monitor myself, but I noticed that it also works with my Wacom tablet.

Yes, that works for me too, I now feel a bit stupid because I didn't think of this myself. Thank you very much for the tip. 😀

I've also in the past edited the installed help's CSS to make it more readable but now I mostly just read it online. FWIW, what I had to change was:

…\PhotoHelp\Contents\Resources\resources\css\frontpage.css
body, html {
  margin: 0;
  font-family: "-apple-system", "Lucida Grande", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 13pt;  /* affects menu */ /**/
/*  background-color: #fff; */
  background-color: rgb(238,238,238);
  width: 100%;
    }

 

…\PhotoHelp\Contents\Resources\resources\css\style.css
body, html {
    font-family: "-apple-system", "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
/*    font-size: 11pt; */
    font-size: 15pt;   /* affects body content */ /**/
    background-color: rgb(238,238,238);
/*    background-color: rgb(61,61,61); */
    text-align: left;
    color: rgb(0,0,0);
/*    width: 96%; */
    width: 85%;
    }

I'm not a stylesheet expert so I have no idea if that was / is entirely correct, though. It worked well enough for me at the time.
