@miranda Did you figure it out?

@miranda Did you figure it out?

No... I don't think there is anything to figure out. Zoom just doesn't work. Seems like a bug.
I'm stuck using the website until this is fixed because I'm too blind for the font size.

Hey, I actually created a small fix to set the default zoom to any value you want! Here are the instructions:

1. Go to "Control Center"
2. Click on "Scripts"
3. Edit main.js
4. Insert this code at the bottom of the main.js file (set the zoom amount to whatever value you want. Note that it has to be enclosed in single '' or double "" quotes):

// zoomAmount must be a string percentage, e.g '150%'
function setDefaultZoom(zoomAmount) {
  const html = document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0];
  html.style.zoom = zoomAmount;
  window.localStorage.setItem('htmlZoom', zoomAmount);
}

setDefaultZoom('150%');

5. Hit save and restart the app.

Awesome, thank you for this, I can finally use this app!

If that's all it takes to change the text size, maybe adding it in the control center would be an easier and better way to fix this bug?

Maybe, that would require more work though. I'm not a maintainer or contributor to this project, I just wanted to get the zoom working again lol
