Toolbar text size?

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Greetings!!
My Toolbar icons and text size are really small and I can't figure out how to change them. I tried changing the resolution of my computer screens and changing the size of the title bars,icons, menus etc. All of my recommended sizes are turned on. What can I do to have my tool bars in schematic/board screen become bigger and easier to see?


Much Appreciated!

    Dear Cadsoft team,

     

    please don't ignore this question. I'm also suffering from tiny icons and fonts with my new 4k monitor.

    Hi Carlos,

     

    No worries, nothing is being ignored. This has been coming up a lot more

    lately. I'm going to contact the devs see if we can give this some priority.

     

    Best Regards,

    Jorge Garcia

    This is also true for me on a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro which has a native resolution of 3200x1800.

    Microsoft has some published guides in Technet\MSDN on handling High DPI screens.

    I'm not sure what framework your devs use for the UI (I guess QT) but they also have guidelines and coding practices.

     

    Just some ideas to get you going.

    A quick workaround would be to have a setting for tooltip font-sizes so at least when we hold the mouse over an icon we can get a text label we can read.

     

    Thanks!

    As a temporary fix, you can tell Windows to look for a "manifest" file and then add a file that tells it that Eagle is not resolution aware and so it must scale it.
    Here is an article that explains it: http://www.danantonielli.com/adobe-app-scaling-on-high-dpi-displays-fix/

     

    It isn't optimal, you lose the advantage of the 4k screen for Eagle, but at least it is usable.

     

    I'm tempted to go crawling around looking for resource files to modify to fix it properly, but since it has been over 6 months since this was reported, I'm sure a fix is imminent... image
