font improvements

[trend-1]

Great little app you got, thanks.

Some improvements could be made to the ui.

• the gray colour of the cloud overcast % is almost imperceptible while the dark theme is active
• the yellow colour of the UV intensity is imperceptible while the light theme is active
• it would be nice to be able to choose a larger font because on smaller devices it is a bit hard to read

This could mostly be summed up to "Enlarge the icons and make the text brighter".
Maybe that could be achieved in a similar way to my concept for #7 but in the daily weather list...

@trend-1 @RageGamerBoi i am working on a "font scale" setting so that you can adjust to your liking.
As for the colors i will look at it

[trend-1]

@farfromrefug Sounds great !

Looking forward to it.

@trend-1 @RageGamerBoi new release coming really soon with basic font scale setting available through the app bottom sheet menu. Let me know what you think

[LinuxinaBit]

Oh, wow, it works really well!
Everything moves without too much overlapping, except past 1.7 on my device but that's really extreme.
There's also a bit of an overlap on the temperature and the high/low temperature readouts.
With a little polish it will be an amazing feature.
I like it a lot :)

@RageGamerBoi could you share a screenshot of where it fails ?

[LinuxinaBit]

Before the font change it looked as you would expect.
Regular resolution:

1.6x Scale:

Would limiting font size for each component fix the problem?

[farfromrefug]

@RageGamerBoi thanks! i cant do much about the ones with "updated" and daily icons overlapping temperature. But i should have fixed the first one in the next release

[LinuxinaBit]

Great! 👍

[farfromrefug]

@RageGamerBoi btw i am also thinking about resizing daily items height based on font scale (like it is done in hourly view). What do you think?

[LinuxinaBit]

That sounds good.
It would make larger text a little less cramped.

[trend-1]

Font sizes above 1.7 are starting to overlap, especially the larger day fonts (date, short description and temperature).

Also cloud coverage with a lower percentage (e.g. 26%) is almost imperceptible in both light and dark themes. (Just to give @farfromrefug a bit more specific info regarding this color topic.)

Otherwise good implementation. Nicely done 👍

[farfromrefug]

@trend-1 i made cloud colors a bit more visible but it is intended to be much less visible if there is almost no cloud.
I fixed colors i think ;)
As for the max font scale yes it will fail at a certain scale. I could block it at a certain level but then people with big phones would be blocked when for them it would not overlap

[trend-1]

Max font scale:

• I understand
• Just wanted to let you know my "test results"
• Works for me!

Colors:

• I understand the philosophy
• Perhaps you could opt for better readable text
  • What's the use of giving information if not visible?

[farfromrefug]

@RageGamerBoi my idea about cloud color is that i dont want my attention to get onto cloud icon and cover % if there is no (or almost no) clouds. Most of the time i tend to not read data and rely on colors/icons

[trend-1]

@farfromrefug I understand the philosophy.

• This could be interesting information to others
• It would make more sense imo to make use of a threshold
  • that way the "fading effect" is still present (demanding less attention)
  • the information is still visible to those who need it

@trend-1 @farfromrefug What about having the text's minimum transparency be 50%, while the icon can still go to 100% hidden?
