Scaling text on desktop, adjusting min-max size for text

#Text scaling #desktop #min-max

I don’t find the “scale” option in the global site styles useful at all.
It could have been useful if I could at least add values to it,
but now it just goes from infinity to 3 (!) pixels.
So I adjust manually a custom min-max for text, on each breakpoint.
(Yes, plenty of work.)

Now, mobile and tablet have boundaries - no mobile under 320, no tablet above 1000 etc.
Any min-max I put, I know exactly when it stops or start changing.
An exception is the desktop - it’s maximum is not infinite, but still, even if I work for 1920 screen, there are much wider screens.

min max

It means that on desktop my maximum is not definitive, but only truth for the size I design on.
On wider screens it will grow beyond.

I believe the solution is to create a bigger breakpoint where I will “freeze” all text sizes.
It’s not a problem in any other element, as I can give max values to sections, containers, images, repeaters and more.
So apparently I can fix the max size of almost everything, except for the size of the text, on desktop…

On desktop it’s not “within a custom range” as it says, but can grow beyond if the screen is wider.
It’s not “max.” in the same way it is used in all other cases on the size panel.

I think the UI should relate to this somehow, because it is quite confusing.
(Actually I thought the “custom” will fix the range, but it would not.)

I understand the logic of it, but I believe it should give some more option at this point, beyond the linear logic.

What do you think?

Thanks
Tamara

Hi Tamara, have you been able to figure out how to perfect the responsiveness of your website? I don’t normally use Wix’s scaling options in the general styles and I’ve worked through issues with elements scaling beyond the desktop layout since it isn’t the max breakpoint.
Let me know if you still need help and we can look at it together

Thanks @marvellous_adeogun ,
As I said I never use scale on the general styles as well.
I will have to use another breakpoint just for “freezing” the text size.
I just wish I could have an option to toggle the text scale on desktop and choose weather the max is “infinite” or “definitive”.
I think the interface should offer a solution to this, without creating another breakpoint.

Are you using Wix studio? One workaround I found when using editor X before the migration to Wix studio, was to use scaling to make sure all the text are responsive enough, then on the desktop breakpoint, I’d remove the scaling and use fixed dimensions so that it won’t keep scaling upwards.
