Bimmerpost App 5.x WIP for Android

Rhino at Work · 01-27-2022, 03:13 AM

Now on 5.0.18 and the fonts have gone massive even after setting to the smallest. Also doesn't now seem to remember that change.

MadBimmeRad · 01-27-2022, 04:19 AM

^^^^ That's funny, because my fonts have gone Ultra small like font size 4pt

In fact, the font selector doesn't work at all. It doesn't change any font sizes

Me too. Tiny fonts. I went to the 3 dots at the top of any thread (near the avatar). There is a slider for font size. Changed it here and it worked for ALL threads. The font size in Forum settings doesn't work.

Any chance of the option to show images in the thread useful old posts often contain images and much easier to track down than scrolling page by page TIA

Yup that will make its return sometime in the future

Before 5.0.18 all the font sizes were on the same base setting, but on larger screen Samsung Devices the fonts were just massive. So I put in a relative scaling system that will try to balance across all devices.

Then the specific font settings for threads or forums layer on top of that scale so you can change it to your liking, for threads or forums, each independently.

I could possibly give control of the entire system font size, but that level of control might get so confusing because you would have to try to balance two setting against each other.

If the titles at the top of each screen, such as "news" and "forums" look like a good size then the system scaling is working, then you just fine tune threads and forums font size to what you like to read on, that part is subjective so it's up to you

I appreciate that you can't please all the people all the time but when the word Subscriptions doesn't fit on 1 line on my phone it's too big.

Yeah true that is way to big!. Can you tell me what device you are on so I can fine tune it?

The font size you are showing affects the actual forum thread list, which you can also access by pressing the three dots when looking at a list of threads for a particular forum

Thanks.

I've noticed that font settings are no longer saving.

Much better. Once again thank you.

Landscape, Android 11, Samsung phone. Everything is BIG. This was what some users were talking about .?

I can't see and change the font size in landscape. Edit: can't post a picture in already existing post when editing it. It shows as it is there, but after sending its not uploading and doesn't show up in the post. And there is no possibility to manage the attachments.

Bambazonke · 01-28-2022, 07:41 PM

Using version 20, in thread settings the option to go to last post does not work on some threads like "Diesel Information Thread" in the X5 forum . I am using a Samsung A5 Galaxy
