AnonymousInactiveHi, this is a fantastic software, however I can’t read what is displayed without straining my eyes. That’s not good on the long run.
Any way to get the text to be bigger ? I couldn’t find the “Settings” option.

Project_LibreKeymasterAre you using the Cloud or Desktop version? There are differences… on the Cloud version just change the zoom on your browser. All browsers are similar and cntrl + usually also does it…
On the dekstop you can change your system preference. The desktop is a Java solution and reads the system preferences. It does change from Windows, Apple and Linux but they all have default font size

AnonymousInactiveI am using the Desktop version on Linux (Ubuntu 24.04), and the font size is very different from my default. The text in Project Libre is two times smaller
Lol, I have an screenshot of the text side by side but I can’t find how to upload an image here.
Would have been nice to have a “settings” to change that.

Ted OParticipantExact same issue in Linux Mint (Ubuntu). ProjectLibre Desktop opens with microscopic fonts/menus/icons. Tried increasing Monitor scale from 100% all the way to 200% and the program size display doesn’t change a nanometer. went through all menus and no settings to fix this.
This is a HUGE programming flaw. Really wanted to test this against my old reliable Microsoft Project, but as is, ProjectLibre Desktop is completely unusable.
Wish I could link a screenshot to help programmers, but don’t see anyway to do that easily on this forum. However, anyone on Linux Ubuntu can easily reproduce this.
PLEASE FIX THIS.
Thanks.

Frank WillemsenParticipantIn my version the text size is way too small. Essentially I cannot use the software because I can’t read the font comfortably. Quite disappoiting.
