4K Screen Resolution Support

I would like support for monitors that have 4k resolution. The current V5.0 displays small icons on my 4k display, and any pop-up menus are initially small and have to be manually adjusted. Text size can thankfully be adjusted by adjusting the computer display settings, but having a more natural way to control the size of the icons and text within the software itself or that automatically adjusts would make it more user-friendly and easier to navigate. Thank you for your consideration.

Re: 4K Screen Resolution Support

I'm running 4K screens and the scaling is fine for me. W11. 150% scaling.

Re: 4K Screen Resolution Support

I'm running Win11 and the scaling doesn't adjust the size of the icons. Mine still appear incredibly small, whether at 250% or 150% scaling. I have no idea why though, but I can't seem to adjust the size.

Re: 4K Screen Resolution Support

If you are both using Win11 with 150% text scaling but you're seeing different results, perhaps it's related to the monitor? Maybe one has a higher DPI than the other.

My desktop (docked laptop) screen is 16:9 4K 3840x2160 17" Benq SW271.
The laptop's native display is a 16" 16:10 4K 3840x2400 display, also at 150%, and it also looks fine.

Hello,

I am on an ASUS Vivobook 16X OLED at 3200x2400 resolution. The icons are tiny.

Re: 4K Screen Resolution Support

Running Win 10 and the icons are tiny, even with 200% scaling, it has no bearing on the icon size.
Also in the preview, the slider bars are impossibly small, very difficult to grab.

Re: 4K Screen Resolution Support

I'm running on win 10 with a 4k (3840 x 2160) 150% scaling and a 2k (2560 x 1440) 100% scaling side by side.

If I drag the program from one screen to the other the icons become bigger on the 2k screen but the text size does not change and it's still tiny on both screens.

Increasing the scaling changes the text size but not icons, but it then affects all other programs I'm using which work perfectly on 4k screen.

Re: 4K Screen Resolution Support

After searching for a fix you can change the scaling of individual programs by following this;

it worked for me.
