The Editor ribbon is ridiculously small for me...

Post by FoxyKG » Fri Nov 10, 2017 5:42 pm

SOLVED. See last comment

And I can't figure out how to get it a decent size. I'm running the game on fullscreen and the resolution at 3840 x 2160.

I couldn't seem to find this problem anywhere in the forums so I apologize if it's been solved elsewhere.

This all happened after the 1.0 update.

What was the old version you were using? We changed the UI entirely during the betas (I think around Beta 2?), and it's no longer a "ribbon" as much as it is a regular menu bar.

We have been messing with how fullscreen resolutions work around the B6/1.0 timeframe. It is possible that we aren't taking UI scaling into account somehow, or were previously handling it (around B6) and are not now.

Well, it's a menu bar, yes. I think I used the wrong term..

To answer your question, I was up to date before 1.0.

SOLVED

This is a 4k screen issue and happens with other applications as well.

Right click the application.
Click "Properties"
Click the "Compatibility" tab
Check the box next to "Override high DPI scaling begavior"
Change the "Sclaing performed by:" dropdown to "System (Enhnaced)"
Enjoy your newly functional application.

This is in Windows (not sure about other OSs) and I've only checked that it works while using 3840 x 2160 resolution and 250% scaling.
