Increase Fold (Plus/Minus) Code Bracket Size?

[jabcreations]

Someone finally fixed the very poor contrast blue against black background-color in the find modal, thank you to whoever that was!

There is one issue that is wasting a bit of time: the fold (Plus/Minus style I’m using (Settings ⭢ Preferences ⭢ Margins/Border/Edge ⭢ Fold Margin Style)) that I can’t fix: they’re too small! The only “people” using 800x600 these days are bots.

I went through the styles (Settings ⭢ Style Configurator… ⭢ Global ⭢ Fold) however it only allows changing the color and background-color. The font options are disabled.

It’s too small. I’m using a 32 inch screen set to 2560x1440 and I miss the “hot box” a lot. I have no idea if anyone using 4K ever manages to even click the hit box to collapse and expand code brackets? Did I miss something or does this need to be a feature request?

That’s an absurd exaggeration. Whether or not there’s anyone on 800x600, there are plenty of people still using 1920x1080 monitors.

(In case you don’t believe me, per April 2026 Steam HW/SW survey, more than 50% of Steam users are running at 1920x1080. So it’s still reasonable behavior for more than half of users – and that’s skewed toward gamers, who are more likely to have “fancy” tech; I am confident that in general, even higher percentage is still using 1920x1080.)

Could it be improved for 4K users? Likely (I’ve never used a 4K monitor, so I have no experience). There’s a long-open set of 4K issues in the official tracker, and it wouldn’t surprise me if this were already one of the open issues remaining… You might want to search the 4K issues in the repo to see if it already exists.

But in the meantime, what’s your OS display scaling set to. Normally, with 4K, it’s somewhere in the 150% to 200%, IIRC from other posts. But if you’re at 100%, then of course GUI elements will be tiny.
