Posting from a HP Stream 8 running Windows 10. Under 8.1 the app scaled very nicely to the screen size but now everything is just a little bit too small for my tastes, which is odd because the other apps I've checked (Twitter, for instance) scale properly. Is there any way to change the scaling of the app, or at the very least increase the text size?

[Edit: also how do you bookmark a thread while reading it?]

[Edit edit: tried changing the global scaling setting from 100% to 125%... the app apparently ignored it somehow :psyduck: Tiny forums it is!]

I'm not doing anything special with fonts or scaling. It works totally fine on my Surface Pro 3 and Dell XPS 13 (Both of which have DPI scaling on) so I'm not sure what you're issue could be.

Strange, here's a screenshot of how it looks:



The buttons on the side and the text are way smaller than they should be (this is at 125% scaling). Like, the buttons are less than a quarter inch big and pretty hard to press, and the button labels are like 4pt. A few other apps are exhibiting the same issue (Reddhub, for instance), while others (Twitter) are not. Maybe it's an issue with apps that are using old Windows 8 code instead of using the new universal app framework? The app scaled perfectly for the few minutes I used it on 8.1 while 10 was downloading.

For comparison, this is how Twitter scales on my tablet's 8" display:


The buttons and fonts are significantly bigger by comparison.

[Edit: Wait, what the gently caress, I just checked both screenshots on my laptop and the fonts and stuff look exactly the same size, what the gently caress is going on here :psyboom:]

Right now you can't add a bookmark directly from a thread. You can hold down on a thread in the thread list to do it. I can add it to the thread view at some point.

Ah okay. I'd used the app awhile ago on an older laptop and thought I remembered being able to bookmark threads, but I guess not.

Yeah, that's not the UWP version, that's 8.1. You have to uninstall it and reinstall to get the new version.

:negative:

...Windows Store told me that it updated when when I updated to Windows 10. Obviously it did not. Everything's better now.

Still doesn't explain why the elements looked right in the screenshot, though. Oh well.

[Edit: Okay, proper build now, but a new issue/request: I like reading some threads in landscape, such as the comic strip thread because the images scale nicely to, well, basically comic strip size. But landscape mode now has the split view, which means that the threads only take up half the screen, leading to tiny comic strips. Is there a way to disable split view in landscape?]
