XAF Blazor - How to change a default SizeMode Switcher Option to Large or Compact

Hi.

We have the Blazor SizeMode Switcher options available to Standard or Compact. However, SizeMode can be Small, Medium and Large. I would say that Small is the Compact and Medium is the Standard. Is it possible to show the Large as an option too?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Ivan,

You can customize only the captions of the Size Mode Switcher's items. In Large mode, elements are too large and the layout doesn't look good enough. Moreover, the majority of layouts have a lot of elements, and Large mode is not suitable for them. It was decided not to show the "Large" option in the dropdown. We will consider how to improve this functionality in the future.

Currently, you can set Large size mode manually in Startup.cs (to set Compact mode - use SizeMode.Small instead):

C#
public class Startup {
    // ...
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) {
        // ...
        services.AddXaf<MainDemoBlazorApplication>(Configuration);
        services.Configure<GlobalOptions>(options => options.SizeMode = SizeMode.Large);
        // ...
    }
}

Thanks.

By the way, I have just tested the SizeMode.Large option and it didn't look that bad.
I've always had some users asking me to make their screen objects bigger, and I think that letting them choose the Large option would be nice.
Please, consider having it in the SizeMode Switcher, and maybe letting us choose which options would be allowed.

Cheers.
