  • I have searched for similar suggestions and have not found a duplicate.
  • This is an improvement to an existing feature (not a new feature request).

Describe your suggestion

Please add a visual indicator (like a percentage overlay or status bar text) that displays the exact UI scale size when zooming in or out.

Current behavior

Using Ctrl + Scroll successfully changes the size of the UI elements, but it happens completely blindly. There is no on-screen feedback or indicator showing what the current zoom level actually is.

Proposed behavior

When a user scales the UI, a small percentage readout (e.g., 100%, 125%, 150%) should temporarily or permanently appear on screen. This would function similarly to the zoom indicators found in the Windows Photos app or standard web browsers.
Here is example of how it shows in the status bar of Photos when zoomed in 195%.

Benefit

This gives users precise feedback on their adjustments, makes it easy to return to the default 100% view, and allows for consistent settings across different sessions.
