I just installed the program and noticed that the main menu text is too small to read. I then went into system settings in Windows 10 and increased the text size to a max of 175% and it's still too small. My vision is good but I still can't read the GUI text. Should I be looking at my system settings or the program?

TIA

What size screen are you using? I have two 23" 1080 monitors set to their native resolution in Windows, and have no problem reading the text.
This is a frame grab (1920x1080) of a single screen with a dropdown menu open. You should be able to read the menu items if you look at it full screen.

Hello Don.

I hope you are safe and well. The Windows Text Size has little to no effect on the UI of Resolve, may I suggest you change the resolution settings in windows.

You can set this up to only come into effect when you open Resolve, perhaps use a virtual Desktop to keep things neat and organised. I hope you get this sorted.

Best Regards

Here's a quick pic taken with my phone of the screen with menus open.

Charles,

Can you actually read the smaller text?

I'm on a new narcotic pain medication (Norco ) that lists vision problems as an adverse side effect. Maybe I can't use the program.

In your pic, the entire left dropdown menu is impossible to read.

I'm using Windows 10, how can I make the GUI text larger?

Yes, I can read it with no problems at all. You cannot increase the text size in Resolve. The only option you have is a much larger monitor, or change the resolution.

When you view the second pic I posted, are you saying you cannot read that if it displayed full screen? I took the picture with my phone off a 23" monitor.

The smallest monitor I have used with Resolve was a 20" and I had no problems with that either.
What screen size are you actually using, and what is its' resolution?

I have a 32" monitor and have no problem reading it when I compose music which requires good vision. I'll try increasing the GUI text font and size.

Thanks.

Don
