Hi I wonder if anybody has encountered a solution for the small appearance of
IJ when using high resolution screens. ImageJ on a 16 inches monitor with
3840x2160 pixels is impossible to read (literally one needs a magnifying glass
to read the text!). I am seeing this in Kubuntu, with NVidia drivers.
I am aware of the Font option, however setting sizes larger than 16 (still too
small) the Window and Help menu entries do not fit in the fixed size of the
rest of the application anymore and are not shown. I guess this is because the
icons/buttons have a fixed size and the main application frame is fixed?
The new Appearance Text Scale works to some degree with the submenus, but not
with the application menu or the output sent to text windows. One can enlarge
the text window fonts, but I cannot find a way to store this as a default
either.
All other applications follow the system font settings. The only other
application with small fonts was Firefox, but it could be solved with the GTK
font size settings.
Is there any way of scaling both the application buttons and the fonts other
than setting a low screen resolution?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Gabriel
