Hi, I use to work with Resolve on a desktop computer and I recently bought a laptop on wich I would like to use Resolve from time to time.

Unfortunatly, on this laptop, the Windows title bar covers the top toolbar of Resolve. I mean, I don't see the toolbar with "File, Edit, Trim, Timeline, Clip...etc".
And even more disturbing, there is a gap between my cursor and the activation of "Media Pool, Effect Library, Edit index" buttons. My mouse cursor has to be way bellow those buttons to activate them.

My laptop is a 13" 1080p HP Spectre x360 of 2017.

Does anyone have an idea to help me ?
Thanks by advance (and sorry for my bad English, I'm not a native speaker)

Resolve works down to a screen resolution of 1600x900. What do you have?

I have a 1920 x 1080 13" screen on my laptop, sush as my desktop.

Here the interfaces screenshot:

The toolbar issue on my laptop :


As you can see, the top toolbar with "File, Edit, ..." is hiden.

Also it would be nice if the menus and some other text scaled better on small displays, now the font ends up being very small and therefore hard to read/use.

Does anyone have the same issue with the toolbar ?

I haven't changed the screen resolution of Windows 10 (100%).I have tried with and without auto-hide the Windows taskbar and I also reinstalled Resolve without any improvement.


The Laptop issue


The normal interface on my laptop

This issue doesn't allow me to work with Resolve because as I said, additional to the fact that I can't acces to "file, edit...ect", there is a gap with the activation of "Media Pool, Effect Library, Edit index" buttons that overflow on a part of the rest of the interface.

Thank you in advance.

I have exactly the same problem...
So if you have any idea how to fix this, I would be glad to find it here

Still no solution to this issue ?

Double click somewhere on Resolve GUI. It should scale down so you can see all options. At least this works on Mac.
Your issue maybe down to the fact that you probably using font scaling in Windows settings.
Try setting it to 100%.

Hi Andrew, by "double click somewhere on Resolve GUI" you mean run Resolve in a window ? It doesn't change anything that Resolve is windowed or fullscreen :/
Yes the Display Scaling in the display settings of Windows could be the reason, but I set mine to 100% so it should behave like any fullHD screen.

It sounds like it might be an issue with the Resolve window being positioned slightly too high.
Can you try using the windows window controls to maximise it, or even something like auto-arrange?

Sorry, I haven't been a windows user for years, but maybe one of these will help?

I don't think this issue is cause by a shift of the interface because it does not depend on the windowed/fullscreen mode, or on the window position.
In addition, I have a gap between the position of the mouse and the button it activates at the top of the interface that I dont' have on the bottom of the interface.

Issue solved with the 15 update !
