Adjust TC screen to adapt to resolution 3200x1800

Post by *bergpr »

My Dell XP13 screen with Win10 is set to 3200x1800 with 250% screen size factor.
This setting is advised by Dell.

With this setting the TC Configuration pop screen is so small that it is unreadable.

Question: How can I adjust TC (x64 v9.20) so that this Confiuration (and f.i. the Command/Search screen) will be readable at normal size?

Menu -> "Configuration" -> "Options..." -> "Font" -> "Dialog box scaling (does not scale the main window)" -> "Set dots per inch (DPI) to:"

I am guessing that bergpr has a problem with setting anything by using the configuration window because it is unreadable

2 bergpr
Try edit main INI file directly.
"Configuration" - "Change Settings Files directly" should open your main INI file - WINCMD.INI by default
Add following lines under [Configuration] section

OverrideDPI=240
OverrideDPI96=240


save file and restart TC.

If dialog windows are still too small (or too large) change "240" to larger (respectively smaller) value.

Or change your resolution temporary to half - 1600 x 900 - should be enough, change setting as petermad wrote and change resolution back
or use screen magnifier.

Oh, he can literally not read the configuration dialog:

Run command cm_FontConfig -> Press Tab -> Space -> Tab -> write 250 -> Press Enter

Also the command 'magnify' in Windows Run -dialog may help as first step :D 8)
