#831 Support resizing icons for visually impaired
From a user:
"I love this program, but for a visually impaired person, it's almost impossible to see the toolbar icons. The View tab lets me set larger fonts for the password & trre list, but there dosen't seem to be a way to increase icon size. Help!"
Implementation might be based on changing CToolbar to the newer CMFCToolbar - see https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/217588/Porting-a-legacy-MFC-app-to-MFC-Feature-Pack
This is Non-trival. Maybe the Windows Magnifier can be used.
May I also suggest using the Classic Toolbar as the images are very much easier to see and determine their function.
Maybe you could do something like have 2 different buttons with the same function but different icons, each of which is half of a "double-width" button (see attachment).
It might also help to have a "white space" button that could be used instead of (or in addition to) the existing 'seperator' object. It would have a 'do nothing' function if pressed.
I would think that these should be easy to do without messing significantly with the current code. You could also add a third menu selection for 'high visibility' buttons that shows a toolbar with the double width buttons and white space buttons already positioned so that the person wouldn't have to customize it themselves. I've found that many users have an unreasonable fear of customizing programs because they think they might "break" them in some way.
Sorry not possible. The Microsoft Foundation Class CToolbar only supports images 16 x 16 pixels. Hence the major change required to their "newer" class.
Using the "Classic Toolbar" buttons will definitely be an improvement but the default is the "New Toolbar".and so the user who brought to this up might not know about the Classic.
You're not getting what I mean. I mean two normal-sized buttons that individually perform the same function but each button has one half of the double-size image on it. When placed on the toolbar side by side, they visually look like a bigger button and because they have the same function, you can click on either button.
I must admit that it is a very novel idea! However, I don't think it is very practical as the user would have to place them side by side on the toolbar. Also, none of us are graphics designers to do this for every button image. By the time we did this, we could have started the conversion. Mind you, someone would have to design and create the new 32 x32 and 64 x64 images!
