New Moho user - menus/text so small I can barely make it out

[m0h0dad]

Hi all, I got Moho for Christmas for my daughter who is interested in learning about animation. I installed it on her Lenovo Flex laptop and the application's menu/text is so small I have a heard time reading it. All the settings in Windows are pretty standard and I don't have this problem with any other applications. Any tips on how to fix this?

You might try Edit>Preferences>General>Use Large Fonts.

Windows has scaling options per app, right click go to properties have an explore.

Another option is to reduce the resolution of the laptop's screen. For example, my Lenovo P71 laptop has a 17" inch display with a native resolution of 4k, but I keep the resolution set to 1920 x 1080. All applications are very readable at this resolution, including Moho, and it is reasonably high enough to work on for this laptop. (I use this resolution also to make screen recording more efficient but that's another matter.)

If your daughter's laptop screen size is any smaller than mine, definitely try this. For example, my old Wacom Cintiq Companion had a 13" display and setting the resolution higher than 1920 x 1080 made the text way too tiny to read, and using a higher Windows text scaling setting could break window panel layouts in certain applications. It became a headache trying to find ideal settings for each programs, and once I settled on 1920 x 1080, everything became fine and normal again.

To be clear, I only do this for smaller size displays. I do use higher resolution settings for larger size desktop screens on computers running Windows.

You can keep the high resolution if you like.
I use Moho on a multi screen setup, one of them is 4k , just play with the Moho properties ( it may be in the advanced section) there are plenty of scaling options and tips in there.

Where is the advanced section to play with the Mojo properties?

Maybe this?:

Right-click on the app shortcut and select Properties, and then look under the Compatibility tab. Toward the bottom are some relevant options, notably under Change High DPI Settings. I used to make adjustments to this when I had a tablet computer with a small but high-density screen.

Note that these properties are program-specific display settings. For global Windows display settings, you want to go into the regular control panel.

Moho itself has a few internal options in Preferences, like Use Large Font. I would try that first.
