Feature request: Formatting of Practice Screen

The specific feature that I am wanting for my use cases is to be able to make the font and display area for the Context larger when doing classic flashcards. (I guess I would want it for the other card modes, too, but I haven’t tried them.)

I mostly use Readlang on my phone and with my old eyes it can be challenging to read the small context text. And that text is often crucial for me to be able to get the card 100% right. I find myself editing cards to repeat information that could be inferred from the context, putting it in an extra translation field so that I can easily read it. But 95% of the time I think it would be better to just be able to easily read the original context field.

This is obviously very specific. I suppose the grander version would have a number of settings that would affect the appearance of all the flashcards. Something like, but presumably much simpler than, the AA panel for the reader. But the only other specific option I’ve wanted myself was Dark mode for the flashcards.

For me having the context font larger and reducing the size or even getting rid of the much larger, but much less useful (after 10 minutes) “Try guessing first, then click the question mark to reveal the answer” would be a significant improvement.

Thanks for reading. And thank you for Readlang. I am finding it a great tool and loving using it. :slight_smile:

I decided I really wanted the larger context font and that I could probably do it myself. So I did, like this:

  1. Install Stylus addon.
  2. Create a new style, with something like this:
#contextContainer #context {
  font-size: 150%;
}
  1. Enjoy!

The details will probably vary and be fiddly depending on your browser and OS, which is why I haven’t provided any here.
