We spend more and more time staring at the screens of our smartphones. Unfortunately, device manufacturers often focus on a minimalist design at the expense of convenience of use. Effect? Microscopic icons that are difficult to read even to people with good eyesight. How to deal with it?
How to increase the size of the icons step by step?
1. Activation of programming options:
- Step 1: Open the setting application on your phone.
- Step 2: Scroll down and select the phone information. In various phones, this option may be a little different, but it is relatively easy to find.
- Step 3: Find a software information item and search for a version number.
- Step 4: Tap the version number seven times. During the knocking, after a few times, there will be a message informing that you are one step away from becoming a programmer.
After the seventh knocking, the message will appear: “You are a programmer now!”
2. Access to the programming options:
- Step 5: Return to the main Settings menu.
- Step 6: Scroll down and select the newly added programming option.
3. Changing DPI value (lowest width):
- Step 7: In the programming options, scroll down, until in the drawing tab you will find the minimum width option. It can also be marked as Smallest Width or DPI depending on the version of the system.
- Step 8: Tap this option. The dialog box with the current value (e.g. 411 DP) is.
- Step 9: Read the current value in case you want to restore the default settings.
- Step 10: To increase the size of the icons, reduce DPI. For example, if the current value is 411, reduce it to 380.
- Step 11: Enter the new value and confirm by pressing OK.
End result
You will immediately notice the difference – The icons on the status bar, including the battery, clock and all other interface elements, will become larger. If the result does not suit you, you can experiment with other values until you find the perfect size for you.
