Re: Responsive GNOME Shell theme

[Reda Lazri <the red shortcut gmail com>]

This will:

a) Resize the font everywhere, which will make things bad in my apps(I already have a sane font size).
b) Resize the font of the shell, which if you notice, will resize the already-small-size-font in the app view.
c) Not fix the large padding set in the theme.
d) Not resize the icons.

So my idea here isn't about the global font size, I'm suggesting the theme to be more "intelligent" in terms of adapting to each resolution.

You should increase/decrease the font size in the accessibility section
of System Settings, or via gsettings with the
org.gnome.desktop.interface.text-scaling-factor key. That will
automatically apply to the Shell and all your apps as well.
