T techgreyeye Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 21, 2019 #1 My app is using ACToolBarLight but I want the text to be bigger. In this thread it says to use CSBuilder to create the string and set it's size, which I can do. https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/actoolbarlight-title-size.83738/#post-530463 How do I scale the font size so it matches the designer scaling?

You can check the text size of one of the text fields (Label, EditText, Button, ...) and then set it accordingly. The difference should be small. Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 21, 2019 #6 Maybe something like: Code: Copy Dim cs As CSBuilder cs.Initialize.Size(label1.TextSize).Append("Example").PopAll Upvote 0

T techgreyeye Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 21, 2019 #7 I have that in my code already, that's not my problem. It's that the size returned from lmAudits.textsize stays the same no matter what the android text size is set to, even though the text size of the button created in the designer is scaled appropriately. Code: Copy Dim cs As CSBuilder cs.Initialize.Size(lmAudits.TextSize).Append(Starter.appName & " - Dashboard").PopAll ACToolBarLight1.Title = cs Msgbox("Text size is " & lmAudits.TextSize,"info") In the designer, the font size is set to 20, the reported size is 15.623 whatever my system font size is set to in settings.
