But even during its origins in the Middle Ages, it began as an undergarment. The ‘t-shirt’ that we know of today has a long history. In any case, I make it for me for the way I want and share it to you for free - take it or leave it.But have you ever wondered how it became the world’s preferred piece of clothing? I think most users prefer a rather plain, generic UI over something fancy and custom. However, I am using a UI toolkit in a simple manner to focus on the more important aspects of audio/video handling, functionality, stability, etc.

However, you did not specify your OS, and I had to give you generic instructions on how to override in a way independent of the OS settings since you said you already tried that.Īs for your other remarks about appearances, I find them amusing and do not completely disagree. And 150, 175, 200, & 225% make Shotcut do the equivalent of -QT_SCALE_FACTOR 2. For example, a Windows 10 Settings > Display > Scale setting of 125% does work. Most OS have some text size setting, and Shotcut honors this to some degree.

The lack of something (control of text size in this case) is not considered a defect. Just looking at the replies you have already received where people are trying to do Unix-style command line switches with Windows exes, you’ve already lost the argument. I’m right on this, and your design team needs to consider the ability to modify the colors of the controls and the overall font sizes WITHIN the app and not some command line GEEK solution which only serves GEEKS not end users who don’t have time to fuck around with command line switches. All the flak I received about dark years ago is now suddenly fashionable. I have been doing dark themes, and noticeable fonts and colors all along, and now suddenly it’s like a new discovery. Who came up with this bleh design of software? And why do software designers have to go out of their way to have this overall sameness to everything? A couple of toxic words were introduced to reinforce plain, boring appearances, “a clean design” and “professional” - both of which are meaningless but really strive towards BORING.Īll around me ever since then has been a kind of coding style, in both software design and in websites - where “design fashion” dominates with plain and boring designs, zero color, god forbid you put some color on titles, and make important things STAND OUT where the eye can see them. “Now, it might be too bug, but that is all we give you.”ĭearest coder children, you need to think about making a simple change to the software besides “Theme dark” or “Theme light”.īack in the early days of websites, (circa 2000) I was making dark websites, embracing darker themes that were easier on the eyes.
