Accessibility issue : font is too small

[ChrisDGFr]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The software interface is very uncomfortable; the font is too small for me. Is it possible to make it larger?

Describe the solution you'd like

Ctrl++ to increase the size of elements
Ctrl+- to decrease the size of the elements

Describe alternatives you've considered

Give a reason why someone else should spend time on that request

I'm not sure, but I think that trying to resize GUI elements and fonts on the fly, without restarting qmapshack, would not be possible.

However you can resize GUI elements by setting the QT_SCALE_FACTOR variable before starting qmapshack.

To try it on Linux you can type in a terminal

QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.4 qmapshack

Once you know which factor suits your needs, you can put that line in a launcher or in a .sh file to start QMS.

On windows, you can adjust QT_SCALE by adding a line at the beginning of the QMS_start.bat file:
@set QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.4

Note that on linux there is also a QT configurator, which allows you to change the style and font size of QT applications (qt5ct in my pc), but settings will be widely applied to all of them.

Anyway you can adjust the QT_SCALE_FACTOR variable to your needs for each application run, and I have found it very useful useful in some cases:

• running QMS on a 14" laptop, which I sometimes use connected to a 24" monitor, and sometimes standalone, I use a different launcher for each case
• running @kkarsten62 's appimages
