Is there a way of increasing the size of the font on the status bar. They are very small and difficult to read.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Really I looked for many time and only editing some framework can enlarge specifically the letters in notifcation bar but I find an option that improves this and it is a feature that is included in almost all nougat rom based on AOSP; changing display size, for access to this hidden menu in miui you have to install from Play Store "Activity Launcher" go to All apps
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
then go to Settings/Vision Settings
Then Display Size
And finally select the size, I have it in this point cause the maximum level also enlarge the icons and can look some weird
And in this roms is most optimized the size of letters, don´t change the size applying themes https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76049325&postcount=65

Thanks :good:, apparently app hasn't been updated since 2015, but working in MIUI 9.5 (Nougat):victory:.

Thanks. I used it to make screen size smaller.
I used Nova launcher activity shortcut.

I also found other app that does the same but it has this option "vision settings" more accesible. it works for miui, you´ll find it in Play Store; it´s called "MiAppa"
And an additional step to get optimum size (at least the most you can cause there is not an app that can change dpi per section) for users with some visual deficiency or that simply prefer enlarge all, is to set dpi to 490 value (for miui) and the size letter to medium, to change easily dpi there is an app like "Root essentials"
Don´t combine the two things, display size with dpi changed so display size works better with stock dpi cause the apps that can change display size don´t have all the steps in sizes like aosp roms integrated to display menu natively.
