Title: Resolved-- PC display size went nutz [Solved]
Post by: nealsal on April 11, 2018, 03:16:42 pm

Hi, while making some changes to my media center which included disconnecting an HDMI cable whose purpose was to push 4K to my TV, J River has mis-scaled the picture.  All other apps look fine (browsers, apps) are scaled correctly and appear fine.  View/Size makes some changes mostly to spacing between text, but has no effect on the overall layout problem.

Also, the slide which controls the number of album covers in each row is now missing.

Please advise with how to restore.  Thanks!

have you rebooted....try changing the skin and then back to your choice.... did you make misc changes using your graphics options you may have forgotten about....

EDIT: It's been noted that you also need to have the current version (.104) installed

Sounds like a DPI scaling issue.
MC has weird handling of DPI scaling and you may find that you need to set it to 50% if Windows is set to 200% on that display.

OM, I've tried multiple reboots and skin swaps.  Looked at Radeon and Windows settings and don't see anything.  (Also note the display looks fine on everything but JR.)  Yes, latest 23-104 build.

RD: I tried setting the Windows output to 100% (I usually leave it at 125% to improve couch readability).  I tried other settings but no material difference.  I went through various choices and combinations, toggled different views in JR, etc. but still stuck.  Uninstall and reload?

In MC, from the top menu is View > Size set to 100%? If so, does it help if you set it lower (e.g. 50%)?

Under the View Menu in MC, check Size.  Try 100%.

In MC's options, check the font size.  Try 10.  There is a search window at the bottom.

Changing the font size fixed it.  Thanks for pointing out the Help/Search function-- should have thought of it!
