Running OO Studio on HiDPI monitor in Windows 10

Does anyone know how to fix the problem of running OO Studio on a HiDPI monitor in Windows 10?  The fonts and icons are so small that it is not usable on my laptop.  It seems to an issue with Java application on Windows 10.  The Java GUI app is not handling the scaling properly.

Thanks

    Hello,

    You didn't mention which version of Studio you're working with. However, in the Studio Guide for version 10.60, it says that you should set your screen resolution to a minimum of 1280x1024 pixels.

    Regards

    I am running 10.70 Studio on a Windows 10 laptop.  The problem is having too many pixels.  I am running 3840x2160.  It seems Studio is unable to handle the Windows 10 autoscaling, so everything is stuck in a very small size.  I can lower the screen resolution, but it defeats the purpose to have a high resolution screen which most new PC has these days.  Most of the other Windows apps can handle the autoscaling nicely.  What are your experience of running Studio on Windows 10?

    Thanks

    See how small the fonts are compare to the size of the regular size Windows button at the bottom.

    I had this same issue.  The following fixed it for me...

    1. Right-Click the OO Studio Icon and select Properties, then select the Compatibility Tab:
    2. Press the “Change high DPI settings” button:
    3. Check the boxes highlighted below and select the “System (Enhanced)” option:
    4. This made a huge improvement to the readability and sharpness of text on screen.   I was actually then able to remove these settings and Studio continues to display correctly.
