Zoom

<10kB. Updated 2013-06-10.

Description

Small one-trick pony add-on that does what View Size Adjust’s name promises, but just that, for those that got scared off by all the functions to add cards or to do incremental reading. Functions:
  • Zoom in or out with Ctrl++/Ctrl+-
  • or with Ctrl+mouse wheel
  • or with the View/Zoom menu.
The zoom is reset when you switch the main screen (change between deck browser/deck overview/review). For each, there can be a standard zoom factor set in the add-on file. Use the Add-ons menu to edit this. (For example, when you want the deck list in a bigger font, but have the cards themselves set up all right already.) When you see two “View” menus, please make sure you update the “colorful_toolbars”/“Colorful toolbar” add-on as well. (Remember to delete the old version.) Please report issues in the Google thread for my addons or at github. (There isn’t a manual yet.)

Thanks man, using Anki on a laptop can be hard on the eyes as the text is too small. I don't usually review stuff but I just had to say a massive thanks to you for this. Thanks again!!!

Just what I was looking for

With the desktop client, I can now use Ctrl +/- to make the text of Chinese characters bigger/smaller.

Works perfect

But will be useful for those who want a bigger font. I want to thank the uploader for the effort, anyways.

Only makes typed fonts bigger. Doesn't 'zoom' in on images.

Your text is too small? That's the add-on for you :D My Ankilayout is perfect now!

So simple and yet so useful
Posted on 2015-08-31

The add-on does what is says and does it well.

Hopefully this feature will be part of Anki in the future.

One minor annoyance: The zoom will reset if you suspend/delete a card. To change this behaviour you can comment the following line out by prepending a '#':

#addHook("movedToState", reset_zoom)

Saved my day!

Don't know why the default font size is so big in Anki.

This should be a built-in feature.

Perfect for high resolution monitors

Fonts looked too small to read comfortably on my Surface Pro 3 (SP3). Installing this made it easy to read my flashcards! Thank you to the developer.

fantastic

I'm so glad I thought to look if someone wrote an add on for this function. No idea why it's not just built in.

Just what I needed

On the surface pro 3 anki displays very small text, in order for me to study my chinese cards I had to struggle to see the cards clearly. This add-on is just the right medicine to my delimma

essential! for small screens - should be in by default

perfect. This is just what I needed

Verry Helpful

Thanks a lot for this! :-)

@other users: You don't have to zoom in every time. The zoom level can be saved.
Go to: Tools → Add-ons → Zoom → Edit...
Then change:
deck_browser_standard_zoom
overview_standard_zoom
and
review_standard_zoom
each to for example 2.5 then save the changes and restart Anki.

Perfect.

This is what that other mess of an add-on should've been.
