Ubuntu Version:26.04

I have been trying to locate the button that controls the font size for this app.

The default size is tiny, and I’m struggling to read the text. does anyone use this app, and know how to change the font size to make it larger?

KeePassXC does not have settings to choose custom font. The issue mentions “size” but I do not see any settings for it either (maybe it was added in more recent versions, I am on 24.04 currently).

KeePassXC

Dumb question: have you tried a lookup in deb-conf for “keepassxc” to see if it offers any parameter that would permit customizing that font size, if not style? I don’t use KeePassXC myself, so I can’t check for that.

Since Keepassxc is a Qt5 program, you can use the program, qt5ct, to configure Qt5 settings like fonts, themes, icons etc. for Qt applications.

$ sudo apt install qt5ct

You’ll also need to set an environment variable, QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct somewhere. I have mine set in a file I put in /etc/environment.d called 50-Qt.conf. Name could be anything you want though as long as it is a .conf file (IIRC).

Yep.

Came in 2.7.10. Should be available in 26.04.

@gatorade

I don’t see an option for that.

What KeePassXC version do you have?

[gatorade]

ok, just checked , and I was on 2.7.9 , I downloaded 2.7.10 , installed and found the font size option.
