Hence, I've selected a relatively large base font (14 pt), and I've set the dpi settings to 160 dpi. And for some information which should be easily and quickly readable, I have to use much larger fonts (e.g. the time font in the datetime panel app is 28 pt).
However, the maximum row size for panels is limited to 128 pixel. This should suffice for horizontal panels, but it is definitely way too small for vertical panels:
- Window buttons would need several hundred pixels (400-500?) in width at that font and dpi size
- The panel is way too narrow for the datetime app, both for the time with seconds and for the date, and even for the time without seconds
- The icons in the workspace switcher are unrecognizably small
- For all the performance meters, the label (e.g. the network interface or disk name) does not fit.
- The CPU graph would also benefit from more width.
Please increase the limit e.g. to 512 pixel!
