    Text size very small in certain applications [​IMG]


    As the image above shows. I have an issue with certain apps (Doceri, and Adobe that I've identified) appearing with text extremely small. Other apps such as Chrome and Microsoft Office seem to be fine by comparison. I've thumbed through the solutions to similar problems and nothing has worked. Typical "Display Settings" dialogue was useless. Advanced properties didn't do much either. And even manually altering the DPI value to 1 was ineffective. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

    Display problem with Windows 10, changing from internal Laptop to external display (using MacBook Pro mid-2015 2880x1800)

    OK... a bit complex, but here goes.



    I have a new MacBook Pro (Mid-2015 model), running Windows 10 in Bootcamp.

    When in my office, I use two external monitors with the laptop lid closed, though I suppose it's possible to use the laptop as a third screen (but I rarely do this).



    The Native screen resolution of the MacBook is 2880x1800.

    The Main external monitor has a resolution of 1920x1080

    The Second external monitor has a resolution of 1680x1050



    Here's the problem:


    • When I am working normally in my office, my desktop and applications appear on the Main screen normally (the correct size) in HD 1920x180. (There is a slight change if I move an application to the Second monitor, but this is not
      often since this is mostly as secondary display).

    • When I am working elsewhere, such as from home, the desktop and applications appear on the Native Screen (2880x1800) where the icons are the correct size, but the text may be very small... and column arrangements in certain applications
      (Outlook, Quicken, etc.) are all very different.

      • In addition, certain applications have dialog boxes that are all messed up. For example: Opening SQL Server Management Studio shows a very small startup display box, a relatively normal size login screen, but then once logged
        in, the folder and database icons are very small, yet the text descriptions are normal size. If I open a dialog (such as to delete or restore a database), the dialog graphics are small, but the text is huge and I need to maximize the dialog if there is any
        hope of seeing what is there (and sometimes, not everything fits even then).

    • If I change the Native screen resolution to 1920x1080, (which also means I have to manually restart the computer to go back to this lower resolution mode whenever I disconnect from the Main external monitor), but this reduced
      resolution of the screen and everything looks "fuzzy." The text is not crisp, the images are not as sharp... basically I am dumbing down my screen resolution on a very high-end computer, making it look worse than it should!
    Questions:

    • Does anyone know of a proper setting that will allow me to use the full 2880x1800 resolution and not have the problem with wacky icons and bad text sizes?
    • Does anyone know of a way to automatically change the resolution of the "main monitor" so Windows can detect what to use depending on whether I am connected to an external monitor, or only on the higher resolution laptop?

  4. Text size very small in certain applications

    Have not got a fix for, but if the text is too small, hold Ctrl & spin the mouse wheel to expand or shrink, you can do this on a web page but only on the web page can you reset - press Ctrl & 0 (zero).
