ZOOM

[NIquist]

There was a screensaver back in the day that created a lens distortion randomly wandering the display.  It was pretty cool but I think it did require OpenGL graphics hardware (no big deal these days).  I found new versions of the screensaver but only one picture so you'll just have to ignore the bikini babe.

Out: 95% of BD's fit nicely, but a typical main gui with a producer consumer (often enough 2 consumers) is typically a little bigger. Making any solution with .net nodes quickly grows to a couple of screens wide, as i assume you know.

For this, ctrl+shift+n.  That will solve what you're wanting to do there.  For zoom in, I don't have any magic for you.

I would say that's a rather stiff view of things. Zooming in is very easy to justify, as even those of us with good eyesight (and I'm definitely one of those) can sometimes want this. Zoom out follows naturally from zoom in, but could also have some advantages. For instance, a few years back NI demonstrated a system view concept where you could zoom in and out of hardware, VIs, etc. That wouldn't necessarily make a good editor experience, but it's important to keep an open mind.

Of course, as NI commented on the idea, that was impractical in the LV editor as it was a few years back, but they are aware of the need.

And yes, making the text larger in browsers or text editors is definitely useful.
