Re: Tiny display in Win 8.1

-Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.resolutionScale=2.5
-Dswing.defaultlaf=javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel 
-Dswing.plaf.metal.controlFont=Dialog-11 
-Dswing.plaf.metal.userFont=SansSerif-11 
-Dswing.plaf.metal.systemFont=SansSerif-11

That works beautifully! I had set -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.resolutionScale=2, but some fonts were huge. I have now set the other parameters as suggested (keeping resolutionScale=2 though), and everything looks great.

Re: Tiny display in Win 8.1
Just to say that on Windows 10 on a Surface book I had the same issue, but this .ini file fix worked perfectly - Thanks

Re: Tiny display in Win 8.1
I am running a Lenovo Yoga and am having the problems mentioned above.
After applying the SweetHome3D.l4j.ini fix I got some relief. Everything displays correctly except for the list of furniture items used in the plan - which is displayed as a list in the lower left panel of the screen.
This list is scrunched up.

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks

Re: Tiny display in Win 8.1
Hi.
I made this change to sh3d and must say the text size is much better for me, but, if i open - close - reopen a separate function, eg, photo or create shape, each time i open it the text size enlarges until it becomes unusuable, any idea why this would be.
Thanks
Mike
