Request Enhancement Request - Automatic Font Size Adjustment

[Don922]

I recently swapped out my 1920 monitors for 4K monitors. The text generated by AS is so small, it is extremely hard to read. The browser screens within AS seem to adjust fine. I am requesting that AS detects the resolution of the screen and adjusts itself accordingly. If it can't do that then let the user pick the font size.

You can change the text size in Windows.

Forgot to include that AS is running in a Windows 10 VM. I am connecting to it using Remote Desktop Connection and you cannot adjust the font size. I have tried connecting using different video settings in RDC and it's no better.

You can adjust font sizes on Remote Desktop. Click on the desktop, hold down CTRL and using the mouse wheel.

or, Go to display settings, advanced scaling setting, and enter a custom scaling size.

Adjust the Scaling on your PC, that get's ported into the RDP session
And you need to log off from that session, just disconnecting is not enough

Tried all that. No effect on AS.

Let me add this. Other apps, like Edge, work fine. The text is perfectly readable. It's only AS that doesn't adjust the text size.

I had a similar problem a while back when I upgraded my monitor. See the solution in the below thread that worked for me - maybe it will also work for you...

Resolved - UI - Abnormal font size/scale (v1.6.9.0)

Has anyone else seen a problem with font sizes in the UI? I installed 1.6.9.0 today and in a screen resolution of 2560 x 1440, the font size is "supersized" in the tabs, the footer, the overlay text, and the buttons. However, the font is "normal" (what I'd expect to see) for the provider names...

In brief, you'll modify the startup properties of the AnyStream.exe to customize the High DPI property to work for your specific display.

Thanks Drew2u. Thank worked. It also made the buttons, tabs, and icons extremely large but I can live with that as long as I can now read the text. It would be nice if AS would allow you to pick the font size.
