Max 7 – Zoom Documentation

Loving the new documentation but you still can't zoom in or increase the text size.

In fact (and I may very well be imagining this) everything seems a bit smaller in 7. I feel the need to zoom in on patches now more than I ever did with 5 or 6.

All in all great job though!

I might be wrong, but isn't the new zooming function found in the top left corner of the patcher window?

You're referring to zooming in a patcher (which isn't new, it was introduced in Max 5).

I'm talking about zooming in the documentation window.

Oops, I mistook that for zooming into patchers. Sorry bout that, I haven't found that either.

Sooo… this really has never crossed anyone's mind at Cycling 74?

@Stringtapper
I agree that having zooming capabilities would indeed be helpful. We took note of that as a feature request and we'll see what we can do.

Thanks, Florian

Thanks Man :)

to ADD ON That , this CSS file is EXACTLY the css used on Online Max 7 documentation Pages (example : https://docs.cycling74.com/max7/tutorials/basicchapter15

so you can basically inspect with your browser or your web dev tools and find specifically which part is which !

i noticed the main text (which i mainly needed it to be zoomed) is p tags (paragraph) , i tested :

p {
font-size : 20px ;
}

when it worked in browser i copied it in the end of theme.min.css file and worked in the offline documentation as well !

after all the online documentation is just a web view so you can basically edit it whatever you like (which is soo coool !)

go to :

Contents > Resources > C74 > docs > unibrowser > css".
Inside the folder is a CSS stylesheet called "theme.min.css".
