Does anyone know how to set a different layout for each screen on the ZF7?

We know the cover screen is too small, and if I set the layout zoom to minimum on the inner screen, it will only be perfect for using with the inner screen. But for the cover screen, everything is so small to see.

The font setting can't help. I also tried the Routine feature for when folding.
This is the first time I've used a foldable phone. Any advice, please!

Thank you.

EDITED:

Hey, I found a way to deal with this problem.
Turn on developer mode.
Set layout size to minimum.
Font size to 5 (5th dot from the left).
Then in developer mode:
- Find Minimum Width
- Folded and set it to 420 on the cover screen.
- Clear all recent apps.
- Unfold and set inner to 437 (default).
Now you have a lot of space on the inner screen and it's easy to see everything on the cover screen.

Good luck😆

This is a major problem, and it has been this way on all previous Fold models as well. For whatever reason, the outer display has a crazy small UI and font size. The status bar icons are barely legible if you have even a slight vision impairment.

Samsung, PLEASE allow us to adjust the screen zoom on the outer/cover screen. It is ridiculously tiny compared to all other Samsung phones. This would be a huge win for accessibility.

I have written a post here about changing Minimum width with examples. But there are some caveats.
