Hello,

I'm using Amarok 2.1beta, and I can't find how to change to font style and size in the Current Track plasmoid.

The default font it's too big and doesn't fit fine with small fonts in the menu.

A "font editor" (Like amarok 1.4 had for OSD fonts) will be really useful for that plasmoid.

Sorry for my english..

The oversized fonts are more likely to be a bug. Applications should use the same fonts throughout ( preferably those set in System Settings ) to achieve a consistent look and feel of the desktop.

Plasma is supposed to scale fonts automatically, so the over sized fonts are likely a bug, which should be filed at bugs.kde.org. Having not seen it myself it might be intended to be large however.

Look at this screenshot http://amarok.kde.org/files/amarok2.0.90.png , so, that "it's a bug" ?.

That's a BIG FONT.

Again... there's a way to change the font-size in the current track plasmoid like the one that I WANT TO USE?

My fonts are of a similar size.

It isn't a bug in the code per se, it's more likely to be a bug on Amarok usability, maybe you could report it on bugs.kde.org

ok, I give up..

It looks like is really hard to understand that i'm suggesting a FEATURE (like: Right click on plasmoid -> Change Font Style), then change! not reporting a BUG.

A BUG is when something is not working as supposed to work, not when there's a missing FEATURE.

It would be possible to have Font Style as in "Bold, Italics, Precise font" but not size, since that should be managed dynamically based on space constraints by Plasma. This font sizing issue is a bug.

No, it's a missing feature, not a bug.

If I had 1 1900x1600 resolution, and i want to use 8pt font style, I SHOULD USE IT! I don't want amarok "think" was is the best size for my taste.

It's a missing feature, not a bug..... there're things that look like really hard to understand.
