Hi forum,
I’d really like to try out Renoise!
However, the size of the numbers/font is incredibly small. When I select “zoom”, and measure the size of e.g. “00” in the tracks column, it’s 1 (one!) mm high on my macbook air screen! I have a 23" screen, which increases the height to a little less than 2 mm. The text size is even smaller. WHY can’t I have Renoise zoom the size to say 5mm?
In the way, the four eyed people could use Renoise more than 5 minutes a day 
Thanks,
B
Ha ha embarrasing Thanks so much!
I have now selected 175% GUI Zoom (the font size doesn’t change much).
However, how can I access e.g. the save or render buttons? I cannot “find”/see the resize entire window arrow in the bottom right, e.g. I also cannot see the renoise logo.
Until 125% it’s possible, with bigger GUI zoom I can’t find a way. All the bottom functions dissappear.
And sorry - I need 175%
With 150%, this is what I see
Also, strange GUI things happen when going from 150 to 175, e.g. when clicking on mixer this happens
I have some font configs here if you’d like Classic Pattern Font
I made the pattern font and the ui is Inter
You can edit Config.xml and PatternConfig.xml to custom tweak font sizes for each size preset.
Try enabling or disabling anti-aliasing.
In Windows 10 the files are in C:\Program Files\Renoise 3.4.4\Resources\Skin\Fonts folder. Idk about Mac.
Do you mean that I should keep at 100 or 125%, and then make the font sizes bigger in the config or patternConfig?
If yes, what’s the difference between the two?
Decide what makes it easier to see and discern GUI elements for you - 100% or larger scaling. Afterwards you can go and tweak the font sizes.
This is my Config.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FontEngine doc_version="0">
<Standard>
<Size>12,12</Size>
<FileName>Fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf</FileName>
<AntiAlias>NO</AntiAlias>
</Standard>
<StandardBig>
<Size>13,13</Size>
<FileName>Fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf</FileName>
<AntiAlias>NO</AntiAlias>
</StandardBig>
<Bold>
<Size>12,12</Size>
<FileName>Fonts/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf</FileName>
<AntiAlias>NO</AntiAlias>
</Bold>
<Italic>
<Size>12,12</Size>
<FileName>Fonts/DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf</FileName>
<AntiAlias>NO</AntiAlias>
</Italic>
<Monospaced>
<Size>12,12</Size>
<FileName>Fonts/DejaVuSansMono.ttf</FileName>
<AntiAlias>NO</AntiAlias>
</Monospaced>
</FontEngine>
and PatternConfig:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PatternFontSettings doc_version="0">
<Small>
<Size>10,10</Size>
<FileName>Fonts/DejaVuSansMono.ttf</FileName>
<AntiAlias>NO</AntiAlias>
</Small>
<Normal>
<Size>12,12</Size>
<FileName>Fonts/DejaVuSansMono.ttf</FileName>
<AntiAlias>NO</AntiAlias>
</Normal>
<Big>
<Size>13,13</Size>
<FileName>Fonts/DejaVuSansMono.ttf</FileName>
<AntiAlias>NO</AntiAlias>
</Big>
<Huge>
<Size>15,15</Size>
<FileName>Fonts/DejaVuSansMono.ttf</FileName>
<AntiAlias>NO</AntiAlias>

</PatternFontSettings>
This is how full-screen Renoise looks for me:
On Lenovo T460 14" screen @ 1920x1060px
*forgot, I use custom pattern font originally from http://devincook.com/download/Commodore-64-Fonts.zip
‘Commodore Angled’ but mine is tweaked by someone else, but idk where I got it from
You can adjust contrast and button shade in Preferences>Theme:
Set texture to None to get old-school bebered buttons.
Thanks so much remsky, and Bryan
I found the files (in the “secret” location: right-click on application, show package contents, navigate to FONTS and locate the two xml files)
It seems to work!
Is there a way to get e.g. the file names on the demo songs bigger as well? Which setting in the xml files do they use?
