Increase font size in address bar

Hi,

I've been following Otter on-and-off since the project was announced and I like how Otter is progressing!

One thing that I would love to see is the ability to set the font size of the address bar.  On Windows, the address bar looks really tiny compared to the icons:



Thanks Emdek for continuing development on Otter.

In Opera this was possible to change by changing the toolbar fonts in Preferences > Advanced > Fonts. This of course changed the fonts in all the toolbars. Do you want to change just the address bar? Maybe something can be done with custom CSS https://dndsanctuary.eu/index.php?topic=1750.msg62254

Yes, just the address bar.

This would be a departure from Opera v12.

About custom CSS, I'm not too familiar with Qt to know what the element of just the address bar is.  I can experiment if someone can help me out here :)

From some trial-and-error, I found that QComboBox handles the address bar.

So you can style it like this in a custom stylesheet:

Code: [Select]
QComboBox {font-size: 18px;}

However, this changes all combo boxes including those in the settings area.  If anyone knows if it is possible to target just the address bar's QComboBox, I would appreciate it.

I think it should be possible to do something like QComboBox#AddressWidget,[1] except that isn't quite right (i.e., it doesn't work). But maybe something like only QComboBoxes that are direct children of QToolBars will do the trick:

Code: [Select]
QToolBar > QComboBox {font-size: 18px;}
1 That would match a QComboBox whose object name is AddressWidget.↵

Thanks Frenzie!  That works.
