UI Scale

Mathieu PostThemes & Appearance2
Get it for macOS

Makes the bb interface bigger or smaller on each device, so your phone and desktop each get a size that fits. A slider from 50% to 200% scales text, spacing, and layout, and the change applies immediately. Each browser and phone keeps its own value, stored locally and never synced. On iOS, it also stops Safari from zooming in when you tap a text field.

What you get

A settings section with a slider from 50% to 200%, plus presets from 75% to 150%. The change applies immediately to text, spacing, and layout across the whole bb interface.

Per device

The scale is stored in the browser on each device. It is not synced. Set 85% on your phone to fit more on the screen, and keep 100% or 125% on your desktop. Every browser, desktop window, and phone keeps its own value. Set it back to 100% to remove the stored value.

How it works

The bb interface sizes text and spacing in rem. The plugin changes the root font size, so the full layout scales and the mobile layout still fills the screen. Borders and other elements sized in pixels do not scale.

On iOS, Safari zooms in when you tap a text field smaller than 16px, which a scale below 100% causes. The plugin prevents that zoom on iOS only. Pinch-to-zoom still works.

Requirements

No account, external service, or agent tools. The plugin stores nothing on the server.
