Custom Font Size in BigBox mode for Vertical Cabinets

Issue #515 new
Silviu Dumitrescu created an issue

The games titles are not all legible when running BigBox in portrait veiw (1024x1280) Would be ideal if the font size can be changed by the user or if the layout of the titles, screenshots, details, video can be re-arranged manually.

    I know that BigBox and LaunchBox are designed for a more 16:9 ratio, but with the amount of MAME Machines people are building with the software, this makes more and more sense. Don't forget to vote on these tickets too, the more votes the better. The vote button is on the right.

    I use LaunchBox / BigBox on a 65 inch screen with a pc next to my tv stand for a console like experience. I sit ~11 feet away and have set DPI scaling to 250 % in Windows. But my gripe is that most BigBox themes are developed for cabinets and even with 250 % scaling a lot of BigBox themes are not clearly readable from my sitting position. I have to edit xml's or edit the theme in the Community Theme Creator (if the theme creator provided the files) to increase the font-size. My request: Is there a way BigBox theme font-sizes can be adjustable from within BigBox common to all themes? Right now it prevents me from using a lot of great themes.

    Big Box does scale text in our built in views but themes don’t HAVE to use those views and can change font however they want. We could potentially look into a FontSize binding for themes if they want to use what ever you set, but ultimately it would depend on the theme devs using the binding/property properly
