Ability to change font size in "Large Type"

[andy4222]

I use this object a lot, but don't want it occupying so much screen space when it triggers. Should also have some text styling. Something like HUD in BetterTouchTool. 

 

 

Example HUD/Large Type:

@andy4222 You can customize how you'd like your Large Type to appear either globally or on a per-workflow basis with the Large Type Output object. The documentation for both respectively:

@FireFingers21 Thanks. But I'm asking for configurable text size.

 

See how much screen space "CC" takes with Large Type. Compare it to the screenshot I posted in the original post. 

 

 

 

Also I've already set the fit to text setting. Still the default font size if too big

Gotcha, I too would love a configurable maximum font size for the Large Type, as I don't currently see a way to configure anything more than the font type.

 

@Andrew After a quick search, I found at least half a dozen forum posts, including one from 2013 that you commented in asking for this. In that post, you said the Large Type feature is not going to change, but would a configurable max font size be out of the question? In its current state, sometimes it feels like "Large Type" would be more aptly titled "Gigantic Type", which isn't always ideal.

I'll add an internal ticket. I'm currently working on a 32" screen, and do agree that the large type can get pretty gigantic.
