Problem with Pixinsight resolution

[wkrispler]

Hi,

I got a brand new Lenovo T460s laptop with Windows 10. The screen resolution is 2560x1440! When I opened Pixinsight the text was very big as well as the icons! So big that not even all standard icons fit.
Please see also the screenshot attached.

I changed in "Global Preferences-->Core UI Resources" the font size to 75 which helped but still the icons are too big. I thought about changing the UI scaling factor but it is not possible to set it <1 which would be necessary to reduce the icon size.

Anybody has an idea how I can force Pixinsight to choose a smaller resolution?

Thanks,

Wolfgang

PS: I opened now the HistogrammTransformation Windows. The Window is much too big. It covers the whole screen in height!

Hi Wolfgang, this article may help.

See the part of "Deep Customization" and may be you can customize something from there.

Saludos, Alejandro.

Hi Alejandro,

thank you very much, you saved my day.

The optimal screen size can be achieved by a combination of the three options Font Size, UI scaling factor and changing the font size in the core style sheet.

I ended up with a UI scaling factor of 1.5 and a new font size of 8 (before 9) in the core style sheet which gives me now a perfect look.

All the Best,

Wolfgang
