Description Roger 2006-09-10 14:47:09 UTC

I don't know about the rest of you, but I find the fonts used within the menus of the E16 window manager way too small!

I would like to propose a patch to the default fonts.cfg file.

Granite, any user can put a custom fonts.cfg file in their root ~/.e16/fonts.cfg folder, but I'm betting allot of users are exerperiencing this same issue.

I'm attaching my fonts.cfg as a possible "fix".

I know for sure here, on my 1280x1024 lcd display as well as previous 19" CRT 1024x768 and a laptop @1400x1050 -- E16 menus are way to small & tiny and doubling teh size of the font solves this!

The only issues now remaining for me are the epplets(?) images in the borders for closing, minimizing, shading.  And the tick boxes within E16's menus.

Really, this should be fixed by a a good default theme -- and maybe the E16 ebuild should push it... ie: A Gentoo theme. <grin>

Please, send this upstream, also - we don't install anything into ~/

I was proposing to have the orginal fonts.config patched:

/usr/share/e16/themes/winter/fonts.cfg
