Hello,

I love this LDCad. But with Windows 10 I always need to reduce screen resolution in order to see the menu text in LDCad.

I am using a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro notebook. Standard and recommend screen resolution: 3200 x 1800.

Is there a trick or a setting, so that LDCad plays nice together with High Resolution Screens (sometimes also called 4K).

Thx,
Manfred

You can change the font sizes by editing %appdata%\LDCad\gui\default\main.gui

But it doesn't work great for all text's yet, I'll try to improve this for the 1.6 version.

I've played around a bit and below seems a working configuration (making most things 1.5 - 2 times bigger). Just replace the fonts section in main.gui with it.

You are free to tweak it more of course.

startMenu_cap=DejaVuSans,FreeSans,verdana,64

Hi Roland,

Thank you. Looks much better. I do not need to change screen resolution anymore.
I will look, if I can tweak it a little more. Especially the text in the menu bar. But for now, problem solved

Manfred

The menubar text is currently limited to the height of the icons. I'll try to add a 'double sized gui' option scaling everything (including the icons etc) by a factor of 2 without the need to edit the gui files.
