Tiny text on v1.0 user interface
« on: August 29, 2023, 02:26:13 am »
I've installed 1.0 onto a new to me laptop, set up my license, transferred my configs.  Fresh install of Windows 10. Laptop has a decent display, 15.5" diag, 1920x1080 resolution.  My desktop's display is 1920x1200 (higher resolution).  But the Cambam UI on laptop's display is very, very small.  I tried adjusting windows text settings.  That causes the items in the properties window to get bigger (and get cropped if you set the size up very much), but the UI items on the menubar and in the "tree" remain unchanged, still tiny.  By tree I mean the box immediately below where the Drawing and System tabs are.  <ctrl><+>, nor <ctrl><shift><+> work at all in Cambam's window, and the <Win><+> functionality does the same as the settings from control panel.

Out of curiosity, I installed 0.9.8.  It's text on both the UI menubar and "tree" is substantially larger. 

On my desktop, the text is the same size on both versions.

I don't see any options in CamBam preferences for setting the interface text size.  Is there a way to correct this?

Here's an image showing my desktop icon size, file explorer text sizes, CB v1 text size, and CB 0.9.8 text sizes for reference.  CB 1.0 is clearly smaller than anything else I use.  And i s unaffected by normal Win10 font size/dpi scaling changes.  The image make it look bigger than it is in person.  V1 is clearer text, but very small on a 15.5" monitor  The F in File and L in layers is 1.5mm tall.

edit: I found that the default setting for the "scaling" in the Display settings is 125% (recommended).  If I set it to 100%, everything gets small and v9 and v1 CB match.  If I set it back to 125%, the default and recommended setting, v9 gets bigger, v1 does not.  Empirical evidence is that v1.0 isn't obeying resolution changes in windows..

Hello

It's strange that you get different results with CB 0.98 and 1.0

Win 7 - text scaling 120% - set as Win XP checked (1920x1200 - 24")
