Stylesheets for using TW on a 4K-Display (and larger)

#1

Hi,
I am using TW in my lessons at a school and I am trying to enhance its capabilities as a classroomscreen
Now we finally got new state-of-the-art classroom-displays with a tremendous resolution and touch… which is a challenge for the normal TW-style-sheet because the normal font-size is to small there.
Pinch-Zoom is no real alternative because it makes it wobbly to to work with TW.

It is necessary to have a way to adapt all font-sizes at the same time - either with a dedicated stylesheet or with a slider or both.

Are there any well working examples for that scenario?

Give this a try:

TiddlyTools/Stylesheet/Zoom
Provides a range slider and CSS to set the body.tc-body font-size between 50% and 200%.

Note: In order for the Zoom stylesheet to display its range slider control, you will also need to copy $:/config/ViewTemplateBodyFilters/body-template. This adds a ViewTemplate cascade definition that permits the Zoom stylesheet to use a body-template custom field to override the TWCore rendering for stylesheets (which only shows “plain text” by default) so that it can display the wikitext range slider control.

You could try the settings in the ControlPanel → Appearence → Theme Tweeks tab | and experiment with the “Font size” and “Line height” settings. … There are 4 settings you can adjust.

Let us know if that works.

Thank you @EricShulman, @pmario ,
especially Eric’s stylesheet adds an indispensible feature, yet I am missing two things.

  • Eric’s slider would have to keep its size. At the moment it also adapts to the new font-size which makes it hard to enter the exact value.
  • On the other hand, it would be good to have settings for different devices that work well from the start. (I guess having these new boards, I won’t carry my notebook every day, and parallely the students will use their cellphones to read the wikis there. It would be good I there was no necessity to change the font-size as first action).

So there should be a @media screen and (min-width: 1800px)stylesheet that works right when I start that can be overriden with a slider.

And I guess this is so important, that this should be in the core.
