Hi Mark, In most cases, this effect is triggered by App Scaling. Try setting this to 100%. Probably everything will look normal then. Please try a few combinations of App Scaling and font size to find the best settings for you.
It is almost impossible to compensate for all the unsightly side effects of this App Scaling. We also have to take into account the many OMs who have smaller screen sizes. If you have App Scaling set to 100%, the WSJT-X GUI should work fine with font sizes between say 8 and 16 pt, on all operating systems. The problem has come when people have increasingly bought monitors with extremely high pixel counts. Of course, all program windows and icons are displayed smaller there, because a 4K monitor is typically not four times as big as a 27-inch HD monitor. Consequence: For many users, everything is then much too small for their eyes and thus no longer properly readable. Therefore, App Scaling is then often set to high values, but this affects the GUI proportions of many programs. No matter how much Laurie grumbles, this is hard to impossible to solve. Of course, it would be no problem to make a suitable GUI for say 200% App Scaling, but then all the other OMs who have normal-sized monitors and use normal font sizes between say 8 and 12 pt and a normal App Scaling of 100% would rightly complain why the minimum size of the WSJT-X window is now suddenly so large. We have had all this before. 73 de DG2YCB, Uwe ________________________________________ German Amateur Radio Station DG2YCB Dr. Uwe Risse eMail: dg2...@gmx.de Info: www.qrz.com/db/DG2YCB Am 01.09.2023 um 00:15 schrieb Mark Galbraith via wsjt-devel:
Not sure what’s happening here, but my guess would be that the screen resolution may be off, but I was seeing this on other computers as well. My computer is a Microsoft Surfacebook 2, with a screen resolution of 3240 x 2160. I was also seeing the same thing on my other computer with a 32” ultra widescreen resolution of 2560 x 1080. I’m also seeing this on v2.6.1 and v2.7.0-rc2. Is there a setting I need to adjust, or is this something that requires a program change to fix? 73 -.. . / -- .- .-. -.- / -. --... -.-- -..
