Re: Sheet names are too small
Here is what I see with LibreOffice:
It seems slightly better but your screenshot is too cropped to compare with the other fields.
Same answer as your other topic: you can file an enhancement request but the account creation has been suspended due to spam and anyway, not much dev manpower for such request I guess. You can try the dev mailing list nonetheless: https://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-l ... ist-public.

Re: Sheet names are too small
The funny thing is I came from Libreoffice. I find openoffice classic interface neater and less bloated. I will try the mailing list. I wish there was a forum section for feature suggestions. Couldn't you add such section in the future and extend the purpose of the forum ?

Try adjusting "Scaling" in /Tools /Options : View; this adjusts from 80% to 130%, but affects also overall appearance of a spreadsheet.

This affects everything but the sheet names . I tried this already. Anyway , Please consider a feature suggestions section in the forum. No open source project could exist without a link between users and developers.Or at least re-allow registering in the bugzilla , or use github or gitlab.

It also affects the sheet names, but perhaps not sufficiently for your requirement. I normally run Calc, for the little I use it, at 130% and large icons, on a 27 or 32 inch screen.

At 130% scaling. My system is Mx linux.

Try the setting at 80% and you'll see that the sheet names shrink.

Re: Sheet names are too small
There is already such a section, where I moved your other topic.
However, this one is quite limited to Calc, thus I kept it there. But it can be moved. However, developers don't visit this forum. The only way to ask for new features is to file an enhancement request. See [Tutorial] Reporting bugs or suggestions. But there is not much dev momentum since long now. Thus merely wasted time to ask for it.

Re: [Solved] Sheet names are too small
Interesting. The trick is that LO moved the tabs under the scrollbar (visible in the screenshots of this topic) so that the theme does not interfere with the tabs display.
19 years for that request in OpenOffice. Don't hold your breath!
