I notice that the options windows do not fit on screen and the bottom of the window is hidden below the bottom of the screen requiring a press of of full screen, and sometimes (Manage Library Fields) even when pressing full screen in the top right the "OK" button is hidden behind a text panel so you cant save your changes.

Any ideas how to fix?

Also "Get Movie and TV Info" window does not show "OK" unless set full screen

Try View Menu > Size
and
Tools > Options > Tree & View > Font Size

also make sure you haven't increased the text size of windows....this could also do what you describe....

Yes windows was set at the recommended scale of 150%. I use this as a htpc so it's on a big screen and I'm on a couch meaning the screen does need to be blown up. However MC does not seem to accommodate this, not even a side scroll bar. Could scroll bars be introduced to help us 10' interface users?

Thanks

Theater View is our intended 10 foot interface.

Media Center should deal just fine with increased DPI, as long as you didn't screw with it's DPI settings like some people keep persistently recommend, wrongly.

Basically, if you changed the DPI handling mode in the properties of the MC executable, then this may get screwed up.

Well I haven't changed any MC DPI settings.

It's just that when windows is set at 150% size, while the basic MC desktop is fine and there are scroll bars to help fit the content, when in a window of Options the content goes off the screen, is often overlaid on top of other text and there are no scroll bars to move down the panel. Sometimes going full screen helps reveal an off-screen button, but not always.

Would be great if there was a MC fix.

As this is a htpc the use case is from the couch so the screen needs to be blown up.

Thanks

The only way I can get this effect is if I change View>Size to greater than 100%.

I haven't changed any sizing in MC settings. I have only accepted Window's recommend sizing of 150% in display settings so that I can read the screen from the couch. No other programs have a problem with this as far as I have been able to tell.

I am using windows recommended 150% and the options menus fit the screen height, but they don't if I select View>Size greater than 100%.
