I remember requesting this before but the Search button for the forum won't let me see past the 1st page of Search results. So I can't find my original request.

Here's a screen shot of the QV window on a high res tablet (260 dpi) in Tablet mode. (Large fonts, but apparently font size does not affect the elements in the QV window.)

QV is a tad too small for my liking. I know that's a personal thing, and I guess that some here are happy with the size as it is. But, for example, look how tiny the three line text is in the TWR field.

As what I hope is a happy compromise so that everyone (including Brian) is happy, could the QV elements for Tablet mode be scaled up across the board so that the buttons are the same size as the Main buttons? I'm presuming that everyone is happy with the Main button size. So it seems natural that the buttons in the QV should be the same. (I notice that the Main button size doesn't scale with font either.)

My sketch of proposed button size isn't quite right. But it presents the idea.

This has been on the wishlist and it's really specific to particular Android tablets, does not affect iOS. Thanks for reiterating it to us. To address your sketch, I don't see us making the QV buttons the same size as the Main Dock buttons.

We've actaully considered removing the Close button as you can simply tap the screen elsewhere and make it go away. I really want to make room for a "Direct To" option on the QV window.

Thanks for the feedback.

Shane,

A big +1 on your idea for a "Direct To" option in the QV window!

Hi Shane:

Just to clarify in case any misunderstandings, I was simply trying to give a relative scale when I cited the button size. Like, is that 110% of what the QV is now? 120%?

Interesting that it's distinctly an Android issue. I would suggest some kind of ppi scale calibration tool for Android versions of iFly - like, on some of my old Windows graphics programs, there used to be slider where you would set a line segment on the screen to be 1 inch, and hold a ruler up to your screen. But that's sounds overly complicated and kinda violates your "one size fits all" approach to a uniform code base.
