Lacking Editor UI Scaling is ...Ableist?

Hello Community and fellow Devs!
So it’s now 2024, and while FINALLY Windows users can access font options like SCALE, Mac and Linux users are continued to be left in the dust.

Max and Linux are both OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED so I don’t understand the excuse for this? It’s been the better half of a DECADE since this was brought up as a topic.

Let’s talk about the temporary solutions that we’ve made for ourselves thanks to generous contributions from the community:
A) This github editor mod.
B) GTK Environmental Adjustments.
I am personally using a combination of both as the editor mod is better for small tweaks after increasing "text box space
For my own eyesight issues, this made gamedev for me from “Unusable” to “Pleasant” … which is HUGE!

Please Unity Team, I know you guys are going through some crazy changes right now, but as of v6000.0.12f, we STILL have no font-size/scale option!!! And it’s not like nobody wants it:
Here
And here
and and here…
and here here
oh and heeeeere
and many more …

These all total 100k+ views and thousands of comments over 7+ years guys, and we know there’s more but as we all know Unity’s old forum content is kinda … odd atm.

At best, it’s shameful and at worst, ableism.

I love Unity, and have used it for a decade. But my eyesight isn’t what it used to be and I shouldn’t need to feel even worse about getting old!! lol,

please guys. What’s holding you back? Hire me and I’ll do it myself!

I am from the wrong team, but as far as I know it’s something we are looking into and plan to do in the future.

I’m certain it’s on the list, and I hope whoever is responsible for the MacOS/Linux build (aka GDK build) gets a new hire allowed from their supervisor, assuming this team simply doesn’t have the time for whatever needs to be done here.

Waiting for this for so many years :confused:
