Larger font size for website view
J
James Frazier
This is particularly bothersome when displaying the student calendar on the big television in class, as I do, to use as an agenda. (I want them to be in the habit of checking the calendar daily; displaying it in class helps develop this habit.) It seems silly that the date is so huge, but the info they actually need is tiny. I know I can enlarge the font within the browser, but that's a pain because I don't want all my tabs with Cc enlarged, so I'm constantly toggling back and forth
Also, every time the students see my calendar, they ooh and aah at how attractive it is, and they wonder why theirs is so boring and unattractive.

James Frazier: That's a great point and a really clear example. Thanks so much for sharing it. It doesn't look like this feature made it to our feature timeline for this school year, but we think the class website really needs an update and this should be one of the things that changes. So, sadly, it looks like the soonest we might get to this is next year.
As a workaround, if you open up the class website in an incognito tab (in Chrome or a Private tab in Firefox/Safari), it will let you increase the zoom on that tab without affecting the zoom for the main Cc window you do your planning in.
I'm really sorry we can't get to this sooner -- what you're describing is incredibly annoying and I wish we could fix it right away.

Scott Ames-Messinger: Hey, great idea about the incognito tab! I had tried just using a different browser, but that was a pain. Your idea should work quite well. Thanks.

Scott Ames-Messinger It's 2024 and has it been updated? While I can zoom in on the screen, I think it'll be so much easier if there's a button that can create a larger font in the planning or in the website (at least on the daily section)
Please help!

Grace Hahn I'm sorry, Grace! We haven't been able to get to this, yet. It's not something a ton of people run into, but it's something that's
very important
for some people and I wish we had the resources to fix it soon. Technically, adding a font button is actually pretty complex as everything
on the page has to be changed to work with a dynamic font. If we just made it bigger all the time, would that help?
