Change the default font size for creating new screens

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 55

The default font is so big when creating a new screen that many of my fields  are not added; After I shrink the font of each field on a screen and shrink the card, I then must manually add back the missing fields that were cut-off.  They all fit when I resize everything to the font size I want and add them back, but if I could change the initial font size when creating a new screen, it would save a ton of tedious work.  Any ideas?  
(P.S. I am really new to PowerApps so don't worry about insulting me by being too detailed! 🙂  )

    Hi @WillBeeSea ,

    The Default font (and many other things) are set by the Theme (Home > Theme) - you might find one you like there. If you are new to Power Apps, this is probably the best course for you presently.

    This is not really a solution.  I can't modify the themes, and modifying each font or even applying variables takes forever.  Any other suggestions?

    @Anonymous ,

    I use option 2 now (this post is an old one) - I set a Record Variable at App OnStart and then set control properties accordingly (yes it takes a while to do, but the whole App can then be changed with a few setting changes.

    Set(
     gblBase,
     ColorFade(
     RGBA(
     9,
     33,
     98,
     1
     ),
     -30%
     )
    );
    Set(
     gblTheme,
     {
     Fill: gblBase,
     Hover: ColorFade(
     gblBase,
     94%
     ),
     Shade: ColorFade(
     gblBase,
     90%
     ),
     Press: ColorFade(
     gblBase,
     30%
     ),
     SubH: ColorFade(
     gblBase,
     75%
     ),
     TSize: 9,
     LSize: 10,
     TFont: Font.'Segoe UI',
     LFont: Font.'Open Sans Condensed',
     LWeight: FontWeight.Bold
     }
    );

    Thanks @WarrenBelz 

    I understand about setting a variable OnStart, but where does your code live to call on?

    I'm reasonably new to PowerApps and loving it but some aspects are not super intuitive  🙂

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    I run it a App OnStart - In the code I supplied, it is based on a dark Blue (you can change gblBase and it can be based on something else), so the base colour is gblBase.Fill (I use for labels, border colours etc), my Label Font is gblBase.LFont, Text Font is gblBase.TFont etc.
