Tooltips are small and gets hidden by Mouse pointer on Mac

PostThu Sep 16, 2021 3:39 pm

Is there a way to have larger tool-tips? I activated a larger mouse pointer under accessibility menu on a Mac (System settings). The tool-tips are clear on every other software, But on Resolve 17 it's small to read and also gets hidden by the pointer, Unless I return to the Default size, which is very small for my vision

Thanks

I'm using my 27" monitor at 2560 by 1440 and can read the tool tips pretty well.
Do you know that you can 'shake' the mouse to make your cursor temporarily bigger to be found?
No, an iGPU is not enough, and you can't use HEVC 10 bit 4:2:2 in the free version.

Thanks.
2560 is a MacBook pro, Which is pretty much OK. I have a 27" iMac it's 5K and everything is pretty small anyway, I have the "Shake" feature on - But I can't just keep shaking it all the time, I need to see my mouse (I don't mean I move it to the max size, But rather when I just enlarge it a bit it already covers the tooltip)

This is no MBP, it's a Mac mini with an LG 27" attached. Windows users envy us for this:

You can do the same on 5K.

Oh, Yeah. Now I remember we can do it :)
I tried it. Unfortunately The overall resolution and quality of images and text are less optimal for me.

Strange. It's perfect here, even with a lesser screen.
