I am working on an application -- a programming-language
interpreter -- in which I do provide a range of font sizes for the
main text areas, just to suit such users. I wish there were a way
to increase tooltip size as well, and I would just as soon not have
to re-implement tooltips ab initio to do so. Can anyone suggest any
workarounds or alternative solutions?
I know that users can always change display resolution or use
the universal access "zoom" feature to increase the sizes of things,
but I would prefer to make my application friendly enough to
increase the relevant sizes from within it.
You're aware that Apple's plans for resolution independence will
add this feature to all applications in a year or two, right? Unless
you're badly trying to get into a market that has lots of users like
that, I'd just suggest you code for resolution independence now, get
seeded with the latest development Mac OS X versions to make sure it
works there (and if not file bugs before it's too late), and not
bother reinventing the wheel at the same time Apple does.
There's a "Show User Interface Resolution" menu item in /Developer/
Applications/Performance Tools/Quartz Debug.app to use resolution
independence on Tiger already, so you can test your app with that
already (though most of the system will look slightly out-of-whack).
