Increase size of clef's, fonts, etc in window.

[Sal1950]

Firstly thanks to everyone for putting in all the work for this Linux midi program!
Learning the piano at 72 years old has been a super challenge but your app has made it a bit easier.

Running PCLinuxOS here, from the package in our distro's server.
Is there any way increase the size of everything in the work-window of the program?
As you can see by my screenshot it currently occupies only about 70% of the window as opposed to the screenshots I see in the Help pages, etc which use the full window.
I don't have a ipad and reading the notes on my PC monitor from the piano bench is a real problem for my old eyes.  LOL
I'm not afraid to manually edit a conf file, if you can just point me to where and how.
TIA,
Sal1950

Do you think you would be helped by black notes on a white background like this?: http://piano-booster.139.s1.nabble.com/Piano-Booster-with-white-background-patch-included-td7573032.html

Thank you very much for your attention to the issue.
Unfortunately just a change of colors isn't going help me.
I would really need to increase the size of the fonts, etc in that window.
If you can think of anything else I would greatly appreciate it.
TIA,  Sal

You're very welcome, and thank you for your interest in Piano Booster; the application and its e-mail lists need attention. Since my programming skills are too limited, I am not able to contribute program code to provide the changes you need. Let us hope Louis and other programmers read this and can offer something.

Try this,

It would especially help you with large monitor.

I'm sorry but  "try what"  ?
That link only takes me to git hub page?
I don't understand?

I do use a 32" monitor

Which OS/version do you use?  I suppose you wanted a binary version (that is ready to be run).  The github allows you to get the code and build/run it yourself.

[Sal1950]

Oh thank you, I understand now.
I run PCLinuxOS and the application is in our repository.
Building from source is beyond my skills.
Thanks again anyway.

[jackth]

Okay, when I have time, I'll build one for your OS.

[Sal1950]

That's very kind of you, thanks.

Please check this page for download:

I use the latest version of the OS using KDE desktop, and also perform Synaptic updates on the freshly installed OS.  Without update, it won't work.

The midi music zip file also needs to be manually unzipped to Music folder,

Similarly, the sound font needs download and set up if not already done:
