toolbar font too small for Widows 10 in dual system mac

Anonymous — Sat, 20 Aug 2016 15:43:35 GMT

So I recently reinstalled my operating system to windows 10 and I also reinstalled the 3d max education version in my computer, but when I open the app, I found the font in the tool bar is tooooooo smalllllll to even see, I was wondering what is the solution for that? by the way, I try to adjust the screen solution and it does not work...

Hello @Anonymous,

Yes those super high DPI Mac screens have their drawbacks on occasion. If you installed 3ds Max 2017, you can follow these directions to increase the scaling size. If you installed anything before 2017, lowering the resolution in Windows should cure that, but I know you said you tried that already. If the above link doesn't work, you may have to roll up your sleeves and try something like this. Last but not least, here is an article about understanding screen scaling issues by MS.

I don't know if you're running Boot Camp or Parallels, but Parallels has an article about the screen sizes being too small here. Mac themselves have a post about it here, stating it's a problem with the Mac and Windows.

Please hit the "Accept as Solution" button if my post fully solves your issue or answers your question. This lets me know that I was effective in helping you, and thank you for doing so.

EDIT: Wrong link, updated.

Best Regards,
