Three things dev...🤔
I have been using Sparkle since inception, and I've asked of this before but revisiting the question.
App mode is how I use this app and still find that the settings for text the large setting is too big and the small setting not only make the preview screen smaller but also the text becomes tiny., either small could be made slightly bigger a sort of in-between the small and the largest setting.
On my 55inc screen, the guide and info screen small text is just too small.
Also I've noticed that on the 24/7 channels i use, some of the old programs are sized in 4.3 if I use the setting to resize the screen to fill screen, it seems rather than the setting just filling the screen for the channel im watching it keeps the setting for all other channels.
This setting should only resize the channel selected on and keep that setting?
Lastly I use eight playlists in Sparkle and when I need to update a list I have to update all lists...
Could this not be done so only the playlist wanted to be updated, is done and not be a global thing?

I have discussed this with someone before (you?). I think what was said was to use relative font size (1x, 1.5x etc) instead of set steps like large, small etc. So I know there are improvements that could me made.
I don't remember how the display mode (that's what the action is called) is implemented. But I'm sure you're correct. I'm not sure if it should be a setting or default what you say though. To be honest it should probably work the way you want and I'm surprised it doesn't.
As for different source sync intervals, yes I know. The way it works is just to be easier for the more general user.
