It did not the trick, but it slighly increased the useability for me. The Idea of themes seems to me the best resolution, because the result uof the GRID_UNIT way doesnt look as cool as the default Design. It reminds me of phone apps running on tablets. Markus Am 13.02.2016 um 10:58 schrieb

The default font sizes (which most apps and dash use) are defined in the UITK so it should be in principle be possible to adjust them without other changes in the UI, at least for apps that use the UITK and the default font sizes. It would be nice to be able to change that, and the px/GU value

Hi list, I just resized the GRID on my aquaris4.5 as described. ( was 13px, zoomed it up to 15px) It kinda works, but it seems to affect mostly the icon size, the fonts seem to be slightly bigger, but not as large as necessesary. I will play around with size, but a higher value will surely not
