Description Yakov 2009-07-30 11:22:08 UTC
Version:           4.2.98 (using KDE 4.2.98)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

In the notes widget there is no way to set font size. Moreover, font size is increasing/decreasing whis widget size changes.

And finally, if you open from notes widget context menu some dialog (Find, for exmaple) - font size in this dialog is set to font size in the widget. See screen shot attached

I think this behaviour is completely wrong and should be fixed in KDE4.3 reelase.

To customize the font size you have to right click in the borders of the note and select "Notes Settings" or just select the toolbox icon that appears in the black bar at one of the sides when you move the mouse near the Notes widget (with the Plasma widgets unlocked).
I can confirm that the same font size is also used in the Find dialog as example (~some days old 4.4trunk)

You can also change the font size with ctrl+mousewheel :)

ok, the font size can be customized.
But i wonder why is default behaviour is scaling font instead of keep fixed size? I think the dafault option must be keep fixed font size, because in most cases you change the size of notes widget to make more text fit in the widget
Comment 8 Sebastian Kügler 2009-08-01 13:06:25 UTC
When I need more text displayed in the widget, I usually change the font size, it's easy enough to do so, and in combination with the sizing powerful enough. You can easily switch to "don't scale automatically" in the config dialogue of course.
