Suggest making adjustments to the "Find files" dialog.

Post by *sky66 »

Initially, the default font size is set to 9/9/8, which appears slightly small due to the screen resolution. So I adjust the font size to 11/11/11

However, it seems that changing the font size has caused some messed up in the layout of the "Advanced" and "Plugins" pages within the "Find files" dialog box.

While it is possible to enable the "Automatically adjust dialog boxes to larger fonts" option for automatic adjustments, but the dialog box will become larger and occupy too much screen area.

I suggest considering layout adjustments such as move some options to the right, or move down.

Try to increase the DPI (to fx. 120) instead of adjusting the font sizes.

Tested without changing the font size, adjust the DPI from the default 120 to 160.
The font will become larger, but the dialog box and icons will also enlarge, which doesn't look very good.

Therefore, it is suggested that a few options can be slightly moved within the existing dialog box size.

Did you perhaps set Windows' scaling to 160 and not TC's DPI setting in the "Font" settings?

Did you uncheck "Automatically adjust dialog boxes for larger fonts"?
This option should prevent the problem from happening.

Alternative:
The higher DPI scale both the font and dialog, so return the dialog font size to 8 and set a higher DPI value.
