Created attachment 203951 [details] The accessibility sidebar under Windows Currently the accessibility check sidebar gives a lot of text to read, but it is - at least on gen and win backends - displayed with rather small font size. It would be better to provide some opportunity to resize this font, so that it is easier to read. 1. Open attachment 197793 [details] 2. Open the accessibility sidebar -> Lots of text, with small font. Same or very similar as elsewhere on the UI, yet kinda small. Ideally not just "growing the size by 20% from current size" would be reassuring, but some Options dialog level config setting or a zoom-widget like UI item (the customer asked for this).

When I open the sidebar on kf6, nodes are collapsed and all looks neat. What bothers me a bit is the links itself, which in this amount, clutter the view (and are badly indented). Plus, it seems to require a double click to jump at the position. I'd consider (icon-only) buttons like "Fix..." and plain text. Perhaps with text wrapped into a second line. As for tinkering the font size I advice against it. We scale the font at 90% vi ui files, for example in the about dialog and a couple of other dialogs. But basically just for static information. A bad example for smaller font is the special character dialog (cui/uiconfig/ui/specialcharacters.ui). The symbol name is at 90% - but this size change does not yield any information.
We had a scaling option which was removed at some point. See bug 101646. For now LibreOffice respects whatever is configured on OS level.
(In reply to Samuel Mehrbrodt from comment #2) > We had a scaling option which was removed at some point. See bug 101646. But the OOo era scaling in bug 101646 was across the GUI and was stripped out as non-maintainable and otherwise in need of major refactoring crossplatform. I don't think anyone is willing to push for that--its been gone since the 5.3 release. However as Heiko notes, scaling can be applied selectively within the UI, and would note that the 'Accessibility Check' deck already implements an 'Options...' button. IFF the Sidebar framework can support scale adjustments to individual Content panels (would think it should, e.g. the Gallery tiles) then a user option of enlarging (even shrinking) the 'Accessibility Check' deck by scaling is reasonable. And ideally might be applied selectively to the discrete elements on the content panel (as sort of layout control). And would expect that when scaled the calculated SB MinimumWidth for the content panel would respond to resize the SB deck. +1 within those constraints.
