Description Allen B. Reeves 2006-03-20 15:00:25 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          I don't know what language you guys wrote this Kcalc 1.8.1 in, so how am I to answer this? If it is in "C" then I am sure that this newly installed Suse Linux 10.1 has gcc someplace.
OS:                Linux

The Kcalc calculator which is very nice, does not have a resize button at the top right.  That is supposedly because you all tho't that it was sized about right.  Well, for me a couple decades ago, that may have been true.  But, now it isn't.  If the controls for this window to be resized is some kind of .rc
file or whatever, just tell me what I have to edit with my emacs editor and I will fix this myself to suit myself.  Otherwise, help me any way that you can to make this calculator a smidgeon larger (including and specifically the font sizes in the pull down menus as well as on the calculator buttons).
Thank you in advance.  Allen B. Reeves abreeves@maxinter.net

The KCalc window size is the exact size it needs. If you need larger buttons, you have to increase the size for fonts overall in KDE.

If you have trouble reading KCalc's buttons, you must be having trouble in all other KDE applications that have buttons, including all configuration dialogs and even in webpages.
Comment 2 Maciej Pilichowski 2008-11-19 17:22:26 UTC 
Thiago, not true. I have no problems with other apps, but I see no point in using some app which takes just quarter of the screen (or less). I use all apps maximized. 

And changing the font for KDE just to get buttons bigger in KCalc... come on :-)
Comment 3 David Johnson 2008-12-11 08:47:58 UTC 
Moving to normal bug state. KCalc has a font dialog that can be used to change font sizes, but it is currently not working.
Comment 4 David Johnson 2008-12-14 03:00:03 UTC 
The font dialog was not working. I committed a fix for that. However, this only affects the display font, not the button fonts. Unfortunately, that will have to wait because the fix will change strings and the trunk is frozen.

Font page of the Configure dialog.
