Text and control sizes in Lightburn software

Hi All, Newb to Lightburn and am running the trial and looks good so far.

However, I have an odd issue with control sizes within the software. For instance, when I open a layer, The layer option down the left and also the tab description within that dialog are too small and partially hidden. i have played endlessly with font sizes and scaling within Windows 11. Does anyone have a resolution to this or similar issue?

This occurs in other dialogs too.

thanks in advance!

Check if you can change these options:

Here is another video regarding screen resolution:

Thanks for that. Very useful indeed but it doesn’t affect the ability to see the tabs or the layers in that dialog as per the screen shot :frowning:

And you aren’t able to resize the window itself first?

I have 3 laptops, 2 are good (Dell i7 & ACER i5) and one bad (Dell i3) that has this same problem, All 3 have the same size screens and screen resolution settings. I suspect the installed video driver is the culprit. I solved my problem by swapping in the Acer to run the laser. :rofl:

Hi, yes - I can resize the window but that doesn’t affect those two areas. Ask MikeyH states below, it runs fine on my normal office computer. My MS Surface Pro though (which I use in the workshop) has the issue. All with latest drivers etc. Doesn’t matter what I do with the scale/size/fonts/resolution - nothing seems to fix it :frowning:

Ah, ok. It’s a Surface. Those have a very high resolution. You can try to adjust the Windows screen settings to use normal sized fonts and then use the sliders in LB to increase text size again. Maybe that works. On my Surface, I had the problem that all text is extremely small because of the high resolution. I don’t know if it works, but it might be worth a try messing around with windows screen settings :slight_smile:
