Pre-submission checklist

  • I have searched for existing open or closed issue reports with the same problem.

Description

The Vikunja desktop app currently has no way to zoom the UI. Standard Electron-style shortcuts (Ctrl + scroll wheel, Ctrl + Plus/Minus) do nothing, and there is no menu option for it either.

Expected behaviour

Some way to scale the UI. Any of the following would work:

  • Ctrl + mouse wheel to zoom in/out
  • Ctrl + Plus / Ctrl + Minus / Ctrl + 0 to reset
  • A zoom control accessible from the tray icon menu

Related niceties

  • Persistent zoom level: the chosen zoom should survive app restart, not reset every launch.
  • Menu entries for discoverability: surface the zoom controls in the View menu (and/or tray menu) so the shortcuts aren't hidden.
  • Respect system DPI scaling: on high-DPI displays the app should honor the OS scale factor as the baseline before any user zoom is applied.

Useful on high-DPI displays and for accessibility.

Happy to take a stab at a PR for this. One open question before I start: should the tray icon's right-click menu display the current zoom level (e.g. a read-only "Zoom: 110%" entry, or as a submenu like "Zoom ▸ 110%" with increase/decrease/reset items), or is that too much for the tray and better kept to just keyboard shortcuts plus persistence?

Any preference on direction?

The shortcuts (ctrl + etc) should work, and the DPI scaling should be respected. Not sure why it does not do that. I think it should "just work" instead of having to add new menu entries to this.
