Unsolved Qt Creator - Large Tool Window Text on 4K Laptop Screen
-
@webzoid how did you set the Windows font scaling? Can you try to reduce it?
-
Hi
Also
try to add to the shortcut you use to start Creator with
C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\qtcreator.exe --platform windows:dpiawareness=0
and see what happens -
@webzoid
You should adjust the resolution and the scaling on windows as recommend by MS :-(.if you want a better HDPI experience get a Mac Retina :-)

I just used the Display Settings and adjusted the "Scale and Layout" option.
But how is font scaling set? can you reduce it?
-
@aha_1980 I specify 200% scaling via the "Scale and Layout" combo-box. If I reduce this value, I struggle to read any text.

@webzoid
Well, the Mac thing was just meant in jest :-)I have a display with the same resolution as you and Qt Creator v. 4.9.1 looks good at a scale of 175% at 3840x2160 resolution, 150% (recommended) also works.
My display is a 27" monitor so the numbers that work best for your laptop may be different :-) -

And 27" is the minimum size for 4K resolution, if you ask me...

@aha_1980
Well, the OP said he had a laptop so i figured it was not 27". He did not say he was using an external screen. -
@kenchan that's what I meant. Everything below 27" is unuseable for me with 4K

@webzoid said in Qt Creator - Large Tool Window Text on 4K Laptop Screen:
@kenchan I got your jesting. I'm guessing you have no similar issues in QtCreator with scaling at 175%?
No, I'm good at 175%.

It certainly isn't a 27" laptop - could you imagine?! I didn't realise it was 4K until it arrived - foolish of me not to check.
I feel with you :(
