Is it possible to enlarge the fonts on the main interface displayed in volumio?

tell me if touch screens will work on x86? or do you also need to install a plug-in for the display?.
For example, the one from this linkhttps://www.waveshare.com/10.1inch-hdmi-lcd-with-case.htm

Please donā€™t switch the subject in a thread, it will just create a mess.
Go to the x86 help thread and place your question there.

sorry

I have updated my Primo to the latest version 3.611. The file volumiokiosk.sh in /opt doenā€™t exists anymore. Instaed there is a file called startkiosk.sh. The file looks like:

#!/bin/bash

echo "Starting Volumio Kiosk with arguments for cursor display"

KIOSK_ARGUMENTS_FILE=/data/kioskargs
[[ -f $KIOSK_ARGUMENTS_FILE ]] && ARGS=$(<$KIOSK_ARGUMENTS_FILE) || ARGS=""

/usr/bin/startx /etc/X11/Xsession /opt/volumiokiosk.sh -- -keeptty $ARGS

I donā€™t want to beak something. Can I add also xrandr -s "1920x1080" there to enlarge the fonts?

I found the file here: /static/opt/volumiokiosk.sh but it looks different:

#!/bin/bash

mkdir -p /data/volumiokiosk
export DISPLAY=:0

xset s off -dpms

if [ -L /data/volumiokiosk/SingletonCookie ]; then
  rm -rf /data/volumiokiosk/Singleton*
fi

[[ -e /data/volumiokiosk/Default/Preferences ]] && {
  sed -i s/exited_cleanly:false/exited_cleanly:true/ /data/volumiokiosk/Default/Preferences
  sed -i s/exit_type:Crashed/exit_type:None/ /data/volumiokiosk/Default/Preferences
}

if [ ! -f /data/volumiokiosk/firststartdone ]; then
  echo "Volumio Kiosk Starting for the first time, giving time for Volumio To start"
  sleep 15
  touch /data/volumiokiosk/firststartdone
fi


# Wait for Volumio webUI to be available
while [[ $(curl -Is http://localhost:3000 | head -n 1 | cut -d " " -f 2) != 200 ]]; do sleep 2; done &

openbox-session &
sleep 4

Should I insert the line there?

Hello, Iā€™m reviving this thread.
Iā€™m using version 4.096 on a Raspberry Pi 4 B. My Pi 4 is connected to my TV via HDMI.
Since this last update, the font size for titles and artists has become smaller, and you have to be close to the TV to see them.
My userconfig is set up as follows:

framebuffer_width=1920
framebuffer_height=1080
disable_overscan=1
I tried configuring it with the PI SCREEN SETUP plugin, but it didnā€™t work.
Does anyone have a solution (not too complicated!) to enlarge the font size? Thanks in advance.

Try the Now Playing plugin. Fully customisable.

To be fair, Volumio has obvious accessibility issues. Weā€™re talking about the icon showing a tiny sheet of paper with a folded flap and an even tinier rectangle with the audio containerā€™s signature, not the format the parser is looking for. Whatā€™s the point? Sending us all to the eye doctor? Letā€™s hope it makes you laugh.

Iā€™m answering myself! In the TOUCH DISPLAY settings, I simply changed the ā€œscaling settingsā€ and set it to 150. The size of the cover art is not changed and the text and scroll bar are now the size that suits me.
