Font size is too small

Go to your profile (under your avatar menu) the
profile_icon-2024-04-11_1723

Then you can adjust the font size in the preferences section:

If the largest option still is not enough, there is an adjustment you can make on firefox, in the about:config, the value below works well for a 4k monitor but choose what suits your need.
layout.css.devPixelsPerPx 1.50

For the sake of discussion, Discourse will dynamically adjust itself fairly well!

Effectively, this means you can always CTRL+mouse wheel and zoom in, the content dynamically move around to fit its new size. Most web browsers remember this on a per-site basis, so it works pretty well.

Also this is the “TrueNAS General” category, mods should probably move this to “General Discussion”

changed to largest still too small for me.

so i ctrl+scroll to resize to 150% now it’s fine.

1440p resolution, 180hz refresh rate, ips, adaptive sync monitor

There may be a firefox adjustment to make.

about:config setting,

layout.css.devPixelsPerPx 1.50

I had changed this for my 4k monitor a long time ago but after numerous updates to firefox, and time passing, I forgot about it. Checking to see if the setting exists shows that mine had reverted to a value of -1.

When I changed it to 1.50 then once more all the text on this page increased size.

Font size is way too small. Way to small.
It’s not an option to change browser fonts, as other sites have normal fonts. So the only option is to change font size in truenas. But HOW THE F***K to do that?

Such a systems where basic things are hidden so deep makes me nervous. By the normal/standard logic, this should be somewhere in the settings, near GUI. But it is not !!!

could some one point me to the right place? thanks.

@tigersharke something is changed. I see very different GUI view:

Because, as you were told on the other thread where you posted this same screenshot, both threads are about this forum, not the TrueNAS web interface.

It probably isn’t an ideal situation, but you can always use the browser zoom feature–Ctrl-+ to increase the size.

noooo way !!!
Such a simple function and it is not available? :expressionless:

Not sure why you’re wanting to continue this discussion on a thread where it’s completely off-topic, but no, I don’t think it’s available. I also don’t see why it would be needed; if the font is “way to[o] small,” you probably need glasses (and if you happen to be near Savannah, GA, I can recommend a good optometrist, but I’m probably biased since I’m married to her).

Presumably font size is something that can be adjusted via themes, but it doesn’t look like any of the current themes do that, and there doesn’t seem to be any support for user-editable themes. But come to think of it, I can’t think of any other web GUI I use (TrueNAS, OPNsense, pfSense, Nethserver 7 and 8, Proxmox VE, Grafana, Graylog, Syncthing, off the top of my head) that give an option to adjust font sizes. I suspect that’s because it’s trivial to do it through the browser (which is a per-site setting). So no, “to change font size in truenas” is not “the only option.”

it looks like it is you, who wants to discuss. Why do i need it? Because we are different !! You are limited and can’t see/understand why somebody needs something. You might like and need one features, other people might like and need another features. This is as simple as 2x2. There is nothing shamed that you are unable understand why other people need things, that you don’t. Thats how this works.
Thank you for sharing your limited thoughts, but in the future there will be nothing bad if you just skip my posts.
Thank you.

Webpages typically do not offer user selectable fonts.
Some let you change the size of the text.

When that is not sufficient, any modern browser lets you zoom in and many browsers let you override the font used on any webpages you visit using custom style sheets or extensions. Depending on the browser, these settings can be site specific or for all pages.

And then there are accessibility settings in whatever OS you run. These have progressively been improved and many offer scaling, zoom and high contrast settings to aid in readability, just to name a few.

Finally, there’s also the option to use specialised assistive applications that go beyond what the OS and browsers offer.

Overall, the multiple layers of assistance give you, the user, a fairly comprehensive array of tools to adapt your workspace so that it suits you. Expecting each and every webpage/service to offer anything approaching a similar level of customisation is unreasonable and quite frankly, would be an incredibly inefficient use of resources.
