Feature Request
Rescaling of windowed Modern apps
Stardock Forums
I'm loving ModernMix (and Start8) so far! THANKS for making it!
Feature request:
1. I'm not quite sure how to describe this, but here it goes: Would it be possible to change the "zoom level" within a Modern app? E.g. allow resize to change the size of the window without changing how many pixels the app is drawing to? Well, probably allow change of zoom independently of window size.
EXAMPLE:
See image immediately below for how the Calendar looks full-screen (this was taken from Calendar in a ModernMix window maximized on the destop). For my monitor (21") all of the fonts are substantially larger than necessary. But even so, the display is fairly reasonable and nicely shows my calendar. (Original image was 1600x1137)
Now, here's the Calendar widowed, but with window made smaller. In this case, the huge fonts used from the full-screen version make the resized version kind of useless. Most Modern apps seem to share this issue (Weather, People, Store, ...). That is, they'd work fine in a smaller window if they were also rescaled to fit that window, rather than just simply told to draw into a smaller area.
Likely, the rescaling would have to be somewhat independent of the resizing. Maybe not--it's hard to tell without a prototype. And that's even if its possible for ModernMix to fool with Modern apps in this fashion. It would be really cool if it could, though!
Thanks!
