MDI input and scrollbar size?

How can the scrollbars be made larger, like double the size? And the input line for MDI commands also larger.
I find it to be a bit of a precision touch to be in those areas on the 1920x1080 screen. Could be my finger tips, but well...

Hallo,

that widget is using default glade widgets, that result in "mouse usage"
I do agree, that it is anoing. To cange that, you have two options:

1. code a better mdi command widget
2. try to find a theme using bigger scroll bars.

Sorry, for the answer, thT unfortunately does not solve your problem

Hi norbert!

I saw you have Gmoccapy 2 in development state. There you have different style jog, speed etc sliders including + and - buttons on the end of slider. Can you say when it's coming out as stable release? I think it could solve that "hard to hit with touch screen" usage.

Obviously there is no else way to get gmoccapy 2 GUI than install development version?

The Theme here has larger scrollbars:

I'll see if I can test the attachment above. This means there are "themes" in gmoccapy? So changing scrollbar size in a a theme only affects gmoccapy?
I did change the window system scrollbar size so all scrollbars everywhere are larger. That seems to work.

The MDI, and possibly also the G-code editor, could benefit from a larger font size. Where should I start looking? The MDI widget, where can I find that?

Yes Gmoccapy can select themes- go to it's setup page.

The theme should work if you put it in home/.themes folder (then it should show up in Gmoccapy's setup page.)

I'm not up to date on Gmoccapy's official way to add customization such as font size.
I'm sure Norbert will advise soon.

I tried a few things, in the end the absolutely best result was had by lowering the resolution of the display. There is a tool in the debian menu system to do that. I ended up with 1440x900 and gmoccapy fills out the screen nicely now.

Edit: I went down to 1368x768 resolution and gmoccapy in full screen mode. The input fields are now almost twice the size. I did have to create the 1368x768 mode since it wasn't already defined. Here is how
A video describing this and how to make the new resolution permanent is here
