Is Asesprite really all there is for editing pixel art? I can't read any of this. This is a nightmare for accessibility. This typeface and these icons are an insult to anyone without good vision (me, I'm the one without good vision, I just can't use this). 200% is still hard to read, 300% doesn't fit on the screen. A decent fucking font would be readable at this size.

@swelljoe@mas.to iirc there is a way to force it to use a different font by manually editing the config file, but the UI was specifically designed for tiny-ass fonts and breaks in weird ways if you try to use anything sensible (like inaccessible controls! why?????) this is why I use weird esoteric stuff via Wine like Click n' Create and YY-CHR.NET with GNU Imp for doing any pixel art shenanigans

@swelljoe@mas.to Try Pixelorama perhaps. It's good enough for my crappy eyes - of course your experience may differ from mine. Edit: in general I prefer to activate "large text" in the accessibility settings rather than scale the UI.

@swelljoe@mas.to The nearest alternative I know is NEXXT, but it's Famicom/NES specific. https://frankengraphics.itch.io/nexxt
