Max 7 – Zoom Documentation


    Nov 14 2014 | 2:33 am
    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".
