Venu X1 font sizes

dpawlyk 3 days ago

The font sizes in the Venu X1 in the simulator seem overly large. I have to use FONT_XTINY to get a useable size.

It doesn't appear you can get the font size as an attribute of a drawable. That's unfortunate.

I'm assuming the sim is correct and some tweaks to fonts may be needed like on many other devices and will be updating the store with some apps over the weekend. If the fonts on the real device are different, I'm sure users with the X1 will let me know..

Something to note is that it's like the va6 with the actionMenu stuff, and since I already have code for the va6 in my apps, it was nothing extra to do, but if you don't that could be a bit extra.

I get the tweaks but the difference isn't that.

In places that I use MEDIUM or SMALL, I'm using XTINY for the X1.

The X1 fonts are weirdly large (in the sim).

(My app runs on everything (with enough memory.)

How do the font look in relation to the 448x486 display in the sim. For me they look reasonable The proportions.

I'm using tiny on round watches (like the Fenix 8 47mm).

I'm using XTINY on the X1.

Use what you think is best, but to me, the xtiny would be very hard to read on the real x1 May try small and tiny instead of medium and small? With the above, looks like you have about 1/3 of the screen empty

The unused screen height doesn't help me much since it somewhat hard to split the text lines. (I'm also going to be reworking this stuff.)

Tiny might work (but small won't for most of it).

It's also not always unused (there's some stuff that isn't being displayed).

For devices like the 540 and 840, the screen resolution is the same but the effective screen size of the 840 is smaller (since part of the screen is used for menus). (I use the same layout for both).
