Graph text fade threshold consider node size

It would be great if the graph text fade threshold considered the node size. So the larger the node, then the text would fade-in at a more zoomed-out scale than smaller nodes. I would compare this to zooming out on a map where as you zoom out, you only see text for larger geographical areas (cities, states, countries, etc.).

This would be great as it would let you see what topics the nodes in your graph are clustering around. +1

I was thinking the same thing, this way we could still get an overview of our most important nodes while zoomed out, instead of choosing between all or nothing in absorbing the information through graph view.

I had the same idea, glad there is a feature request. Also, the choice threshold size of should ideally optimize the number of nodes with visible text; but without overlap — or without over-crowding the screen.

Is there any way to solve this with an Obsidian Community Plugin or Theme?

I had the same idea, it bothers me to have either no text or to much text at greater scale in my complete graph view.

Signed up just to request this (and a font size slider). An absolute necessity.

One more for this feature.
Should be pretty easy to do?

And another +1

I found this request, because I’ve just had a similar idea:
For my use case (I’m using the local graph view with a depth of 2) it would be nice, if the text fade threshold considers the depth (distance to current note). So if a linked note itself has a lot of links, they get faded. The result could be similar to the view, when i hover over the current note:

What do you think about this idea? Is there another request for this out there?

The fluidity of all the other aspects of the graph are kinda broken when zooming in and out with this feature not implemented, really looking forward to this one.
