Caps, make kerning preview take other preview settings

SDK Feature Requests
1

Tips on how to write a feature request:

  1. Describe your reason for requesting this feature. What problems are you running into?

When hand kerning fonts in Caps, the preview of the kerning is very small.
It'd be helpful if it took the same settings as the preview below, which would allow it to be larger and change the background.

  1. How would this request improve your experience developing for Playdate?

It would make it much easier to adjust kerning of fonts.

  1. Include any other details you have relating to this request.

Thanks!

I hacked:

    transform: scale(10);
    left: 100px;
    top: 100px;

into the #pair-preview CSS, which made it much nicer :smiley:

I'm using the PageExtender extension on Safari (there are alternatives for other browsers) to add custom CSS to Caps. My use case is that I run a portrait display. So I think your DIY solution is a good fix!

It's an ok fix :wink:
I use various CSS-hacking extensions sometimes too... but I shouldn't have to :wink:
