Donald Snyder Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 My eyesight is good (I do not wear glasses). However, I am having trouble seeing the text, tools, images, symbols, etc. on Affinity on the screen of my MacBook Pro and the pages of my Affinity Photo Work Book. Is there a larger print option of each that I should have ordered, a way of increasing the size of same or what? I need help on this issue, as I don't believe I can use Affinity unless I can solve this issue. Thank you. Don Snyder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted July 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 19, 2019 Hi Donald and Welcome to the Forums, You can increase the size of the text by going into Preferences for Affinity on the User Interface section, you can change the Font UI Size from Default to Live, which will increase the font size used within the app. Failing that, the other option would be to play around with the Scale Settings under Display of MacOS, but this would increase the size of all apps on your Mac.

Donald Snyder Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Thank you. Changing from Default to LARGE worked. I would also like to enlarge the tools... if that is possible. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodecaray@gmail.com Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I can't really use this software because the icons for the tools and ui fonts are too small. Is there anyway to increase the size of everything on a mac OS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markw Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hello dodecaray and welcome to the Affinity forums🙂 To recap some of the above points in this thread; The UI font size can be set to Large in the Affinity apps Preferences > User Interface > Font UI Size > Large. Tool Handel size can be set in Preferences > Tools > Tool Handel Size > Large or Largest. Unfortunately to get the Tool icons larger the only way to do this currently is to change your screen resolution in your Mac's System Preferences > Displays > Resolution > Scaled > and choose one of the options to the left of the Default option. However, as this is a global setting it will change the size of how everything on your Mac looks so it may not be a viable solution for you.
