[Ticket #4819] Zoom tree with mouse
I'd like to propose to make it possible and easy to zoom the tree-view with the mouse.
Reason being: with age it's getting progressively harder to see what the icons look like and sometimes the same goes for text.
Side question: are all icons in the tree in vector format?

+1 dear god, please!
rather than zooming with the mouse I think it's simpler and probably better to just have a config for letter and icon size for the tree view (maybe a single parameter for both since they should be proportional to look good). Regarding the icons, I don't know if all core FreeCAD icons are svg now but I think there are workbenches that use xpm icons, these will look ugly when scaled up.

i think @realthunder's branch has a "text size" control that scales the text of all freecad.. might want to ask him to PR that?

His fork does indeed has that "text size" control, in settings.
Hi realthunder, any chance you can make your "text size" control to be manipulated by the mouse as well and make a PR out of it?realthunder wrote:

I have to ask, why does it need to be mouse based? I think you use/used CATIA, did you not see how awful it is there

I have submit a PR to change application font size in Preference -> General -> Default font size. You can revert back to system font size by setting to zero.
Changing tree font/icon size separately is also implemented in my branch, but that's a bit involved unlike overall font size here. I plan to submit other PRs for tree view in the future.

Brilliant! This will also be very handy when the lenses of the eyes become stiffer.realthunder wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 3:15 am I have submit a PR to change application font size in Preference -> General -> Default font size.
Exiting news indeed! And with a bit of luck it may also come with some sort of "mouse zooming"-ability?realthunder wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 3:15 am Changing tree font/icon size separately is also implemented in my branch, but that's a bit involved unlike overall font size here.
