Re: The Trunk: System-mt.1530.mcz

Hi Tim --

Yes, that "just the font size" is an older remnant. So it looks kind of odd to still support that.

Just thinking about font size without the overall system scale factor can lead to a strange looking UI.

Yes, we might want to untangle this more im the future to cleanly separate Morphic from the base system.

Marcel

Zounds! This implies some pretty over-complicated stuff going on down there. It isn’t the team to make any big changes but surely the ui scale stuff belongs in (Morphic)Project rather than Display, and by default shouldn’t be changing host window size, etc, etc.

Another day.
