Is the any way for setting the font size on [tof/pmenu] ?
I'm having problems with the readability (or hitting the menu entries) on small touch screens.
Thanks! Ingo
Hi Ingo,
Is the any way for setting the font size on [tof/pmenu] ?
I'm having problems with the readability (or hitting the menu entries) on small touch screens.
No there is currently no such option. Would it be helpful if the menu would zoom with the rest of the patch?
Thanks! Ingo

Hi Fred!

would zoom with the rest of the patch?
I'm not sure what you mean by "zoom with the rest of the patch".
I have dozens of menus within a single editor patch. Each of them has a different size / number of entries. If the menu would "zoom with the rest of the patch" wouldn't they be different?
Or did I miss a new zoom feature of Pd? I'm still using Pd 0.49 for compatibility reasons with older hardware units that have to run my software.
I had used xrandr for actually zooming certain patches but there is a compatibility problem between Intel / AMD processors. So I would like to enlarge smaller patches by making them bigger to fit Full HD instead of zooming. This makes the menus smaller in relation to the entire patch since I cannot enlarge them as well by the same factor.
Thanks! Ingo

I'm not sure what you mean by "zoom with the rest of the patch".
I was referring to the standard Pd zoom function, as activated with "Edit > Zoom" In or "Ctrl-+". But looking at your screenshots, this zoom wouldn't help here.

No, not that I know of. Not that I am that modern :-).

What you use is a hardware or system-zoom, not Pd-zoom function. pmenu doesn't have any persistent arguments and the code doesn't contain any font setting. So it probably uses some canvas default font (-size).
The short answer is no, there is no option to control the font size.
Thanks! Ingo

I just wanted to thank you for pmenu, Fred. It really fills a gap in the Pd ecosystem.

For my modular system that I am planning to develop this year in Pd I have to include 2 guis in ELSE, a knob and a dropmenu, knob is almos done so dropmenu is next. I will make it able to set the font size and find more things that are missing in the current few dropmenu options we have in Pd.
cheers

Re drop-down with configurable font-size, check [netpd-gui-dropdown]:
https://github.com/reduzent/netpd/blob/main/includes/netpd-gui-dropdown-help...
(it's vanilla and uses data structures)
Roman
Forgot to illustrate my problem. Here's an example of two dropdown menus at 1280x720 and 1920x1080:
At a resolution of 1280x720 the menus are still readable on a 10" touch screen and you can hit the numbers with your fingers.
At a resolution of 1920x1080 this becomes impossible.
