Using a phone with gloves during winter is quite difficult. The touch targets are too small for thick fingers, and navigating through multiple settings menus to adjust the display for glove-usage is tedious.

It would be incredibly helpful to have a "Glove Mode" quick toggle in Essentials that can automate the following system settings simultaneously:

  • Screen Protector Mode / Touch Sensitivity: Toggle the setting to increase screen sensitivity for easier use with gloves.

  • Display Size / DPI: Adjust the system DPI (e.g., modifying DISPLAY_DENSITY_FORCED) to make UI elements and touch targets larger.

  • Font Size: Increase the system font scale (FONT_SCALE).

  • Keyboard Height: If technically possible within Android's API limits, trigger an increase in the virtual keyboard height for Gboard.
