Any chance we could have an option to increase font size? Everyone seems to love the default microscopic font size on Android, but not me. :)

font size

Wait until you are 52 and need bifocals.

The ability to increase font size is important for us old geezers and you too will be an old geezer some day.

Or try being visually impaired!

Any news on this? Would others be interested?

Is it difficult to make fonts bigger for Android apps? I ask because most apps seem to have (and keep) it small. Kind of a drag for some of us. Makes me think the iphone might be a better choice.

Theme

I just took another look at this and it looks like it could be done with a theme.

like to take credit, but...

It's from an old Simpsons episode. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_the_Iconoclast

Thanks for adding it.

Hey, we use Mantis too, sometimes. What do you think of it? Do you ever use the tagging? Our version does not have it but I keep thinking it might be useful to have so folks will find it easier to find items.

I missed the reference completely

Been a long time...

Mantis is alright. I use it mainly because it takes remarkably few clicks to manage issues and has a pretty decent roadmap/changelog. It's also quick to find issues using the filter, which is probably why I haven't had the need to use any tags. I've use a few others in the past (eventum/track+) that were ok too. Mantis does have some decent integration with Eclipse...so you can track your tasks directly in eclipse.

I think you just made up a word

But I like it.

I added a mantis issue for this.
