The text size adjustment feature aims to enhance the user experience by allowing customization of text displayed on the desktop screen.

The feature can be accessed through the "Personalization" menu in the app settings.

New shortcuts have been added for quick text size adjustment, including the option to reset it with CTRL + 0.

Increasing the font size can improve readability while reducing it provides a more compact layout for users with limited screen space.

The text size adjustment feature is available to some beta testers and will be rolled out to more users in the coming days.
