Change Scaling of CircuitStudio

I've found that going from a 1080 monitor to a 4K monitor has really put a damper on my ability to see the screen while using CS. In case other people are having a difficult time, I found a fix a while ago and I thought that I should share.

1-Find the main executable (DXP.exe)

a-Go to your search bar

b-Type CircuitStudio

c-Right-Click and select 'Open File Location'

d-Right-Click the shortcut and select 'Properties'

e-Click the button 'Open File Location'

2-Right-Click DXP.exe

3-Select 'Properties'

4-Click on the 'Compatibility' Tab

5-Check the box next to 'Override high DPI scaling behavior Scaling performed by"

6-In the drop-down, select 'System'

7-Press 'OK'

Now your CircuitStudio program will take on the scaling of whatever you have set up on your display settings.

Happy Birthday!

Hm. Library is not fully shown:

I can't scroll it down, it is a final position, but there are more components here!

Update. I changed the scalling in the windows options to 100% (it was 225%), and moved all menus (symbols, footprints) up. After it I set scalling factor back to 225%, and now it works better:

But the fonst and all appliction in general looks not legibly. If I set the scalling factor to 100%, it is legibly, but not too small.
