Making fonts bigger in flatpaks
The problem is that menu fonts in GTK and Qt based flatpaks are too small, as well as other text in the app. The theme also is different from the system theme.
Each flatpak has its own internal theme, and there does not seem to be any way for them to use the system GTK or Qt theme. That I can live with, but the small fonts need to be fixed...

More flatpaks added to the installer
On April 27, posted about adding more flatpaks to the Flapi installer:

Then posted that problems with flatpaks fixed with fscrypt v2:

For the upcoming Easy 5.3, going ahead and adding more. I still have to test them. Added about another 25, and one failed -- Zoom was that one failure. Zoom just showed a blank window, no error message at the terminal.
