UI is too small

Post by Golden_Girl55 »

The UI in 2022 psp is way too small on my 4k tv monitor. Is there a fix for this? Even if I change my display resolution it stays small. I tried going to properties and looking at the HD settings but the options are greyed out. Please Help!

I assume you have already gone to User Interface and changed all the various sizes there (Icon Size, Text Size etc...) That's in the top line of menus (File, Edit etc). If you have and are still having trouble, try this.

You close the program and go to the program icon on screen. Right click and select Properties. Then select the Compatibility tab. Down the bottom of that you should see a button "Change high DPI Settings". On the new window which then appears there are two boxes. Tick both. With the second one down at the bottom of the box "Override high DPI scaling behaviour", click on the menu box below it and change Application to System. Then OK out. Next time you open PSP 2022, you should have much larger fonts and clips.

What about my assumption that you have changed the size of fonts, nodes etc in User Interface? Have you done that? As I mentioned in my email to you, I have my 32" 4K monitor set permanently to 150% zoom and have both increased the size of things in User Interface as well as using those DPI settings. I needed to do all three of these things, not one or the other. As a result I get a decent, though not excellent, size. Some things, like the ruler, remains too small to be usable but at least the rest of PSP is available.
