Let me pick between A, C and D but adjust the font size to my liking.

This is coming from a visually impaired guy constantly using screen magnification: The ability to adjust font sizes is an insane help as we can now match how far we scroll our magnifier versus how much information we can guess from a glance without.

On Element on my Android phone, I have a much bigger font size, so I can skim messages for words by their optic. If I am interested, I can zoom in with the screen magnifier and read. Since the font is bigger, I don't have to zoom in far to read it well, but still have enough density that I have to move the view a little.

I wouldn't neccessarily call this an "accessibility killer feature", but definitively something I would absolutely want.

Thanks for reading!

Thanks!

We will definitely have a font size option regardless of the layout we end up picking.

I'd quite like the idea of letting the user chose. From what I can see in the images, the difference is, for the most part, the margins/paddings between elements. So it would be nice if we could chose. If you on a small phone, you want the densest possible view, but if you are on a big screen, then A or B might be much nicer and feel less crammed.

That is, if it's possible.
