281795 - userlist and text input box (fonts) are to small and there seem to be no way to configure that

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Other Applications Graveyard :: ChatZilla, defect)

Description

[smok3]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

on larger screens like 1280x1024 fonts are simply to small (for input-box and
user-list), the only way to fix that (as it seems) is to change system display
dpi settings which is not a valid solution imho.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start chatzilla
2. start typing and get blind ;)
3.

Actual Results:  
i was in tiers.

Expected Results:  
show me some larger font and allow full costumization - same as for the channel-box.

These are UI elements and use the same sizes as the rest of Mozilla. I see no
reason for specific options to change them just in ChatZilla when you should be
fixing the problem in Mozilla. Also, the userlist as we know it is going away...

ok, imho this shouldnt be mozilla related in any way, its still a browser vs irc
client, i mean, this are two totally different apps (yeah, i can live with a small 
 search thingy in firefox.)

ChatZilla is integrated in Mozilla. It is subject to the themes / styles
selected in Mozilla. You can either find yourself a theme with bigger font
sizes, or change some css yourself. This is the way you change any part of the
looks of the browser or any of its extensions. ChatZilla can't do anything about
that.
