Make Menu and UI bigger without changing resolution?

Post by iamthecrave »

Hello! On my new computer, the menu and UI elements are very small. Is there a way to change the font size in the menu even MORE than by enabling "Use large fonts" option? I want to be able to use Moho in high resolution, but I am having trouble seeing/tapping on menu items.

Using Windows settings to resize UI elements and manually change menu font sizes does not seem to affect Moho.

Thanks in advance!

The only way i know to have bigger icons on Moho is to enter in beginner's mode, but i don't remember what is the shortcut to do that in pro version (if you have Moho pro).
But you are right, Moho must have a real big icons mode for who work on tablets or others HD touch screens.

If you set the Windows Text Scale to 150 or superior, all the Moho icons will be twice the big.

It sounds like you have a high density screen, so try what Victor says...that's probably the closest you'll get getting a usable interface without reducing the resolution of your sreen.

I have a Wacom Cintiq Companion 2 Enhanced which has a native resolution of 2560 x 1440, which is insanely high for a 13 inch screen and makes many programs unusable. I tried adjusting the Windows UI scale settings, which helped for some programs but made other programs worse to work in (many Adobe programs come to mind.) I didn't really want to lower the screen res on this computer but after a lot of testing, reducing the res to 1080 and leaving Windows Scale at 100% seemed to be the most effective way to make all my programs look correct and usable on this computer. I don't know if that's a workable solution for you so just putting it out there in case adjusting Windows Scale doesn't work for you.

That said, it's been over a year since I tried working on this computer at full res with Windows scaling. Maybe I'll give that another shot. Let me know how it works out for you.
