My external monitor isn't a retina display, but it's a high-res (2560x1600) Dell that seems to have needed similar settings. I'm running Windows via Parallels on my 2017 MacBook Pro, and the relevant setting in my shortcut menu for starting FrameMaker (Frame 2015 -- I haven't used it in a while, but it's still installed) is in the Compatibility tab of the shortcut properties. I've selected "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by: System". That seems to have worked well for FrameMaker and a few other Windows programs that otherwise had impossibly small menu bar/icons/etc. HTH, -Monique

I am moving to another laptop - a Macbook Pro (older generation - not the last t wo hardware versions) that has a retina display and is much faster than this 2-c ore Lenovo I am migrating from. This is a quad-core Intel I-7 and quite faster than the Lenovo, even though it i s old. My son's old laptop, recently fully refurbished by Apple - new *everythin g* in it for very little cost, and in beautiful condition! Since it is a Macbook, I am running Parallels (version 16) with a clean install of Windows 10 Pro, to get access to my Windows applications. The Windows applications have been running fine for a while, so today, I moved F rameMaker 12 to it (was reminded by the recent discussion on licenses)! The installation went smoothly - no licensing hiccups luckil, and I have install ed all four updates too. So, it is now at 12.0.4 ... I selected large, color icons to start. However, when I start FM, I get a tiny, almost impossible to read, menu bar, and the icons do not show at all. I have tr ied changing to grayscale (carefully picking the menu item!) and small icons wit hout success. The pop-up menus are a bit small too, but usable. The Mac, of course, has a 2800 x 1800 retina resolution, but Parallels runs Wind ows 10 with a font mag of 300% and all other Windows applications seem to run fi ne. Is there anybody else running FM under Parallels without these problems? Is ther e some setting (perhaps in the INI file for FM12) that could correct for this? Thanks!
