How to change (increase) the user interface pictogram and font size?

Anonymous — Sat, 15 Jun 2019 22:56:17 GMT

Hello

I was wondering if there is an option to increase the pictrogram size of the shelf commands and other commands, and if there is also an option for increasing the font size throughout the user interface. I am nearly going blind on all the small things on my screen (see screenshot).

Thank you in advance for your time and effort

Hi @Anonymous and welcome to the community!

We actually have an article on this!

You can adjust the resolution (scale) of the Maya interface to take advantage of running on high resolution displays, like Ultra HD or 4K monitors, or Retina displays and tablets. The interface can scale to provide better readability of icons and text.

To change interface resolution

Open the Preferences window (select Windows > Settings/Preferences > Preferences).
Select the Interface preferences category, if it's not already selected.
Adjust the settings in the Interface Scaling section.

Hi I was able to scale the screen so it now fits my monitor but the menu marking fonts are too small. Is there a way to adjust the settings for those fonts? I tried adjusting under Preferences> Font but it didn't make a difference. See the bottom right corner for reference. Thank you!
