While display dimensions and pixel density are increasing (QUXGA, WQUXGA), KMyMoney (and other programs too) lacks of a better GUI configuration. This affects, for example, font size for menus and icon sizes. They are to small for this resolution options.
First, some suggestions are, to scale display from 100% to 150% or 200%. This option is a bad solution while loosing the original ability of the display dimensions. It’s a loss of 50-100% of the origin display resultion the monitor offers.
Good solutions are, offering seperate configuration possibilites in applications to adjust menu font size and the size of icons (e.g. options “smaller”, “small”, “normal”, “large”, “larger”).
A good example of offerings GUI ajustments is Free Office / SoftMaker Office from SoftMaker Office GmbH. There’s a slider which a user can adjust font and symbol size of the GUI appearance. This focus of adjusting GUI appereance means also, not editing config-files in an awkwark way.
Does KMyMoney offers configuration possibilites for the menu font size or to enlarge symbol/icon sizes?
Changing fonts and their size is a feature of the global KDE systemsettings and can therefore not be changed through the application.
And how /where can I change these settings in Linux Mint Cinnamon?
System:
Kernel: 6.14.0-37-generic arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 13.3.0 clocksource: tsc
Desktop: Cinnamon v: 6.4.8 tk: GTK v: 3.24.41 wm: Muffin v: 6.4.1 vt: 7 dm: LightDM v: 1.30.0
Distro: Linux Mint 22.2 Zara base: Ubuntu 24.04 noble
That might be more a question for a Linux Mint forum, I guess. I honestly have no idea how to do that in this environment. Does someone else?
This is not only a question to the Linux Mint Forum.
KMyMoney offers on the homepage to use it on various Linux distributions (e.g. providing the software by AppImage format) as well on Windows- respectively Mac-OS plattforms. This means, this kind of KDE applications are idended to use them outside of KDE-environments.
It would be (very) helpful, to have the same configuration possibilites for KMyMoney as well as other KDE applications which can be used outside from KDE environments…
