Description

Apparently the default font size is a bit small on newer iPhones with larger screens / higher DPI.

This can be considered part of theme-ing support as well, which is also on our to-do list despite not being specifically tracked.

I've recently added the proper infra to Makepad to support changing Splash script object values at runtime (e.g., safe area insets, and the max thumbnail height in Robrix), so this should now be feasible.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing Splash script runtime value changes for safe area insets and Robrix's max thumbnail height. Then locate the shared font-size or theme configuration and determine how it reaches the iPhone UI. Done means users can change the base font size at runtime and the updated size is applied consistently.
