dpansini Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 How can you make the icons and fonts larger without changing the resolution of my screen? I find the icons on all screens to be very small. Is there a way to make them larger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Macs, there is a choice of 2 UI font sizes but I don't know if the Windows versions have the same preference, & on Macs the change between the default & large size is not a lot.

Strictly speaking this isn't possible, however you can change the Windows Scaling Percentage in display settings which will enlarge the text and icons in Affinity. 10 hours ago, R C-R said: On Macs, there is a choice of 2 UI font sizes but I don't know if the Windows versions have the same preference Unfortunately this setting is available for Mac only!

Granddaddy Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 In Windows you cannot change the Affinity Photo icon size without scaling the entire screen. Neither can you change the font size for text labels. See my post for more details about what font elements can be changed using the new settings in Windows 10 version 1809. We can hope that someday Affinity Photo will make itself more user friendly for those with high resolution monitors and/or aging eyes. For now, as my late mother used to say, "You just have to put up with it I guess." Quote Affinity Photo 2.4.2 (MSI) and 1.10.6; Affinity Publisher 2.4.2 (MSI) and 1.10.6.

Jens Schmidt Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I really need this too 4k screens are already very common for graphic designers and higher resolution screens are coming every year. Just look at Blender, their UI scaling is amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py9CHZkHh4U Please put a higher priority on this Granddaddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
