    Hi @Zox,

    Thanks for reporting this. Would you mind answering a couple of questions for me?

    1. What version of Windows are you running?
    2. Do you have any firewalls or antivirus software running?
    3. Where did you buy the software (Affinity Store or Windows Store)?

    Thanks a lot

    Dan G

    Hi DanG,

    1) Windows version is 20H2 build 19042.928

    2) Yes windows firewall and AV

    3) Affinity store

    +1 better ui scalability....

    ...In the meantime, to improve at least font readability (in all syste not only in AP/AD) on k4 monitor 
    I personally use this https://www.wintools.info/index.php/advanced-system-font-changer as workaround and
    seems to work better than using the slider to make your text bigger or smaller in windows display settings. 
    Just setting everything to 11pt. is fine for me!
    Just try.! .Hope it help

    Cheers!

    I previously posted about this HERE.

    Changing the display scaling to 125% on a desktop isn't a good solution as it makes everything too big.  The jump between 100% display scaling and 125% display scaling is too big and setting a custom display scaling between 100% and 125% isn't officially supported.

    As there is no way to adjust the text size within the Affinity Software itself, I think it would be reasonable that Serif at least tries to accommodate for this Windows accessibility feature as best as possible.  It would be unreasonable to expect you to support any size font, however perhaps you could test up to maybe 125% text scaling?

    Hi -S-

    I read your linked post and totally agree with you!
    But from the answers posted here, I believe we will only have Win settings to rely on!

    Yes, I edited his reply, because what I meant was, that particular instance of text clipping (i.e. preferences dialog) could be improved, but I wouldn't want to go over the entire application looking for areas where increased font size has broken the UI.

    Thanks for reply Mark,
    I realize that is a difficult task to look and solve issues.
    We report issues with beta testing, even several times, simply to contribute make product becomes better. The best things can also be seen from the little things! IMHO.
    Like many others in this forum, I simply believe that affinity photo needs a more scalable/readable interface,  (i.e. something like Blender) not just fonts are small, also icons, etc.. Often with 2K/4K becomes hard make continuous use of AP. 
    Anyway I understand that Your work guys is not easy, and this may be hard to realize.
    But thanks for Your clarification, really appreciate it.

    Kindly Regards!

    Hi Chris, thanks for reply. 

    My DPI monitor setting is 100%.

    Set on 125% work fine on 2k, but this make everything too bigger not only for affinity photo.

    I have change only text size to 120% in Win settings: “Change the size of text" (just to have at least more readable text) and this made text clipped!

    Unfortunately these are the only way we have (on Windows) for a better UI font/icon size in AP.

    And however, from your answer, I suppose there is no solution!?

     

    Thanks again

    Cheers

    Hi Zox,
    What OS/System are you running? If it's macOS and you are using a retina display, setting the resolution to Default for display should render the interface elements with twice the size, making them readable on 4k/5k monitors. If you still find the text to small you can also go to Affinity Preferences, User Interface section and set the Font UI Size to Large.

    On Windows you have to use the OS Display settings panel to set a percentage for the scale/layout of the Windows apps interfaces (note this affects all Windows apps).

    Hi MEB, thank You for answer.

    I'm on Win 10 with 2k monitor and as You say ...I have to change the size of the text in W10 OS display settings, but unfortunately not the whole UI are affected, like other users say, Affinity Photo needs a more flexible way of scaling the fonts/icons/ and also layers thumbnail sizes!

    Just an example, as mentioned in the  linked thread, could be the DPI method adopted by Blender

    I just hope in improvements.

    Cheers.

    Yes, we need the ability to increase the size of the fonts/UI  dynamically to suit our personal needs in AP and Blender offers a great solution.

    Agree with you! 
    The only ways to get a UI with larger and more readable fonts and icons, especially on monitors with resolutions greater than 1920x1080 is to adjust the size of text, apps, and all other items by selecting: Settings>Ease of Access>Display>Make text bigger to make only the text on your screen larger. Or, select an option from the drop-down menu under Make everything bigger to change the size of everything on your screen.
    Basically the same tweaking is possible on Mac Os.
    Also IMHO, still not enough. I hope in Seriff implement soon, a specific scaling UI function in AP and AD.
    Cheers!

    Thanks for the answers,
    I considered the fact that with every new version of AP. and A.D. we have to make a paid upgrade and the price does not become very low, seems like a subscription and for those with different computers/device -i.e. A.P. and A.D. for windows and MacOs- the price raise up to €219,96, and IMHO it's not a very low price! Others similar software at least are multi platform/device and with just a licence code or account You can install wherever you want, so user can easily manage everything, also the general workflow.
    Anyway, thanks again for the answers. I will use AP and AD, till version 2.0 comes out. However, in a couple of years of use I can say “they do their job” pretty well! Over time, I will see the offers that the market will offer...
    Thanks again.
    Best regards.

    Hello,
    I purchased Windows versions of Affinity photo and Affinity Design.

    I read that to have even the Mac OS version, we have to buy a new license, unfortunately at full price!
    Then... can You please, consider making a special price to those who have already bought a license for an OS versions and would like to buy one more for a different OS?

    I believe and surely also many other users will be happy.
    Thank You.
    Best regards!
