Next to the suggestions to create a bug/feature request for a /proper/ solution, you can employ a workaround right now. There is a modification with a configuration file described here - it's in German: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Baustelle/Ubuntu_Touch/Snippets/#Skalierung-der-Anzeige Basically, you check with set | grep GRID What the value of the variable GRID_UNIT_PX is right now on your device, then you specify a new value by issuing that command printf "start on starting dbus\nexec initctl set-env --global GRID_UNIT_PX='>> PUT A HIGHER VALUE THAN THE CURRENT SETTING HERE <<'\n" > ~/.config/upstart/gu.conf and restart your device. That should change the size of all UI elements. You might have to play around a bit to find a value that works for you. You execute these command on your Ubuntu Touch device, so, e.g. in the Terminal App. Let me know whether that works for you! -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
