First, thanks for your efforts, I see some very useful functions in your software even if you cannot help me with this. I have an ASUS 28' 4k monitor and 5 other other monitors that max at 1920x1080. So far I have been unable to get the main monitor to display at any resolution between 3840x2160 and 1920x1080. The resolutions are listed but when I switch to them the monitor just displays a smaller window (eg, it will show a centered 2880x1620 chunk of a 4k resolution screen).

I realize this has nothing to do with your software, the AMD driver suite (running two R9 290x cards) will not let me change the scaling options on the 4k monitor. So something is probably limited at a driver level. Anyway, it is not very useful to run a 28' monitor at 4k resolutions using windows 7 default text and icon sizes.

It's just too small. If you change the default icon/text size using windows, it uses the same defaults for all displays, so increasing them makes them ridiculously large on other displays. Does this software allow you to change the default icon and font size on a per monitor basis? I couldn't find anything, but this would be very useful if remotely possible. Thanks for any suggestions. Excellent product. I used the free version for a long time before the sale came along on Steam and I picked up the Pro.

Hi Steven_B, To make text bigger or smaller on an external monitor or display: 1. Open Screen Resolution by swiping in from the right edge of the screen. Go to the Apple menu to launch System Preferences and then click on the Displays panel. The default option is 'Best for Retina display', but if you click on 'Scaled' then five resolution options will appear. Click on one of the options on the left to increase the text size. You can also select one.

You can make the text and other things like icons larger in Windows 10.You can choose to resize everything in one fell swoop or temporarily resize with the Magnifier. If you use Windows 98 and have increased the size of your icons but would like to make them even larger, you can go one step father. Go back to the Display Properties window and click on the tab labeled Effects.

In the past when I had a normal PC workstation and two monitors the product was flawless because the resolution matched the monitors I used. However now that I have a laptop with a docking station that has a very high resolution, there are some issues.

I am now experiencing the same issues as the OP with my setup and was wondering if a fix was being planned for the future. I tried the latest install of DF Pro on Steam and then changed to DF Pro on Steam 7.2 (Beta 7) to see if the beta tweaked the things I was concerned with. Is three displays through a Dell multi-monitor docking station with my M3800 laptop.

Resolution Laptop = 3840 x 2160 Res. Monitor 1= 1920 x 1080 Res. Mail app not accepting password for a .mac account 2017.

Monitor 2= 1920 x 1200 Things like the TitleBar buttons and the Taskbar icons are ridiculously huge. They are not scaling down at all with the lower resolutions. Thank you for your time. Screenshot of all 3 monitors on imgur because it's larger than 10MB.

Link: As you can see the resolution step down is plain to see. Unfortunately I do not have monitors that can support a higher resolution. In order from Left to Right. Resolution Laptop = 3840 x 2160 Res. Monitor 1= 1920 x 1080 Res. Monitor 2= 1920 x 1200 On the second monitor you can see the two examples show. First notice the Start8 window that comes up when clicking on the Start button.

It's expanded and large. Second on top of the browser window behind it you will see the 'Send App to Next Monitor' icon which is much bigger and off set from the browser buttons. A similar behavior happens on the third monitor as well. For reference, this is the docking station I am using.

- Dell Docking Station USB3.0 Ultra HD 4k (Model D3100) Latest Driver: DisplayLink Display Adapter (436E) - Ver: 7.7.57957.0 Date: I have a sneaky feeling it may be the docking station or a setting within Windows 8.1. Just in case I am going to poke around and see if I can magically fix this thing from my end. *crosses fingers*.

External Display For Macbook Pro

Screenshot across three monitors: Here is what I had to do in order to make all three monitors scale correctly. First I had to change the resolution on the laptop that has the Ultra 4k resolution scheme to a lower one. I kept the same resolutions for the other two monitors. In order from Left to Right.

New Resolution Laptop = 2048x1152 Res. Monitor 1= 1920 x 1080 Res. Monitor 2= 1920 x 1200 Then I figured out how to scale icons which you suggested. Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Display Choose 'Make text and other items larger or smaller' Click On: 'Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays' Choose: Smaller - 100% Not clicking on 'Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays' didn't work for me. It refused to scale correctly on its own.
