[Oberon] Global font change on OLR

[Srinivas Nayak]

Dear Peter,

> Default display size of OLR is (1280-16)x(1024-32). This can be configured via environment variables OWIDTH and OHEIGHT. Negative values are relative to screen size. Or by changing the constants defaultWidth and defaultHeight inside OLR.Display.Mod and recompiling.


~/spot/OLR/olr# echo $OHEIGHT
700
~/spot/OLR/olr# echo $OWIDTH
1000
~/spot/OLR/olr# ./oberon
~/spot/OLR/olr# OWIDTH=1024-16
~/spot/OLR/olr# OHEIGHT=768-32
~/spot/OLR/olr# ./oberon
~/spot/OLR/olr# OWIDTH=1024-5
~/spot/OLR/olr# OHEIGHT=768-10
~/spot/OLR/olr# ./oberon
~/spot/OLR/olr# OWIDTH=800-10
~/spot/OLR/olr# OHEIGHT=600-5
~/spot/OLR/olr# ./oberon

I tried all these.
I see some changes due to the negative value.
The window starts at some offset from left hand side.
But no changes in window size!

Am I doing wrong?


With thanks and best regards,

Yours sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak
