Mageia CC tiny low contrast font

[Stylite]

My eyes are failing [cataracts]
MCC is #6 font, grey on an off white background
Dark Reader & various settings make nearly everything else, white print on black, with #15 font
Luckily I'm familar with everyday stuff, so I can muddle through
The forum suggested I fiddle with video drivers, but I can't really figure it [tiny font]. I doubt it will make more than a minor difference
Any way to make mcc follow system settings [KDE]?

Welcome to our forum, Stylite

MCC use GTK, so I believe the correct way is to configure GTK fonts and looks.
I do not know how to do that "the user way"...

I found ~/.gtkrc-2.0, which contain the line
gtk-font-name="Noto Sans, 10
but changing the "10" to "20" and logging in/out did not alter MCC appearance... or any other app I use currently. I am on Plasma.

I also found there is a mcc.css file: /usr/share/mcc/themes/default/mcc.css, but it only sets two colours. I do not know if more settings can be added there.

Solution
Finally, from https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic. ... 066#p82442, i learned /root/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini is used by MCC
In that file, I edited the line

Code: Select all

gtk-font-name=Noto Sans,  10

There, I changed "10" to "20" - and it immediately works launching mcc

12 or 14 seem right for me.
Most text change, notably not the text on the icons in right hand pane of MCC, but that text at least here is bigger than original other text size.

Edit: Chaning MCC text size have been asked several times, also other places than our forum.
I now opened https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33967 for this.

In bug I got pointed to this: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Appearance_o ... _Tools#GUI

Update: I recommend:

Install lxappearance, and launch it as root.
- No need to change theme, but you can at bottom of dialogue change text size (and font if you like).

I will note this on the wiki page another day.
