Cool User Interface

Post by Aharon Dayan »

Hello all,

PaintShop Pro 2023 has cool feature called User Interface which permits me to increase font size making it easy for me to read pull down menu choices.

I am wondering if PaintShop Pro Ultimate X9 has it too?? The menu and pull down menu choices are so tiny and hard for me to read.

Thanks,

Aharon

You can increase the icon size in X9 but not the text.
PSPX9 | PSP2020 | PSP2021| PSP2022 | PSP2023 & PhotoMirage installed; PSPX | PSPX2 thru PSP2019 owned but not installed

I apparently solved the problem by changing display resolution from 3800x to 1920x which makes the text more readable and easy to see.

That also solves the problem for KPT Collections which is now easy to view. Now I only have one more problem on KBT which I will post in new thread.

Aharon

You can also use this method which I have used to increase the size of things on my 4K monitor: right click on the desktop icon for PSP and choose Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab. Then down at the bottom of that tab click on the button saying "Change high DPI settings". On the new dialogue box which appears tick the box down towards the bottom: "Override high DPI scaling behavior". And in the small dropdown menu immediately below that, choose "Application". Then OK out of both boxes and then open PSP to see if things are bigger.
