The UI font is so small it is almost unreadable.

#1 Post by barrickm » 26 Sep 2020 21:45

I'm working with the latest CODEGRIP on a Surface Pro laptop running Windows 10 Pro.

When I run CODEGRIP, it establishes the normal user interface in dark mode, but the font is so small, I need a magnifying glass to make out what it is saying.
There appear to be no settings that allow the font to be enlarged.

I am supposing that CODEGRIP won't display in a readable format without the use of a larger monitor.

Is there any known solution for this problem, short of installing a larger monitor?

Sure thing. Here is the screen shot.

However, it looks normal when it is attached herein, even on the same Surface Pro running Windows 10.

Hi,

If you try to change the DPI settings, do you have some improvements ?

I tried to change the screen resolution (lowering it), but that didn't help.
However, altering the scaling factor, in the Scaling and Layout dropdown, from the recommended 200% to 300% did help.
The only problem is that it makes the compiler and all other apps too large, requiring scrolling to see them in their entirety.
It might be something I can use when I'm using Code Grip, but it isn't something I would want to set and forget.
Thanks for the suggestion. It is usable without resorting to a magnifying glass, which is a big improvement.
The Code Grip app appears to be something you setup and forget, so this does represent a reasonable workaround.

Hi,

Please update CODEGRIP Suite to the version 1.5.0 where this issue should be solved.

We await your feedback!

Filip.
