Also, one of 'em is square (FBInk), the other tall-ish (eips).
The scaling tries to match the original intent of the PW days (as far as column width is concerned), as that looked perfectly fine at the time (and is what I roughly based the length of my messages on).
But, on 300dpi devices, we jump a scaling step, mainly to make things better on 7" & 8" devices, where eips is ridiculously unreadable.
Which means things might be a tad cramped on 6" 300dpi devices like the PW4, even if the maths still yields roughly the same amount of columns as expected (>= 32 IIRC). |
Thanks for the explanation!
Didn't realize the smallish text with eips was unintended behavior. I kinda prefer it since it's more discreet and doesn't block any of the menu items.
Lol, I just frankensteined my librariansync folder (latest from github with old eips logging from 12/08/18 commit).
