I am using the dark background to be more environmental responsible using less power and protecting ones eyes.

After upgrading to a better screen with higher resolution it has become a problem to read the text in the userinterface due to the very small size and the lack of possibility to enlarge the text by the simple standard function in windows where the size of the programsurface is scroll/crtl adjustable. One detail making is more difficult to read is the colored texts.
(one post for one issue!)

It will be of great help to use the standard windows function of sizing the userinterface either by the normal WIN function crtl/scroll or having a setting in the program for textsize.

With a background in the development of programs and hardware I’m sure it should not be a big deal.

Thank you in advance. I’m sure not to be the only with this problem.
and it is not related to printing but to visibility on the screen when all other programs has no issue.

I don’t use Windows so I can’t say for sure which setting would be best, but maybe this will work:

Find the theocbase.exe and create a theocbase.bat file with the following content in the same folder

SET QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.5
theocbase.exe

In the first line, a different value instead of 1.5 could help, or a completely different one of the environment variables described here: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/highdpi.html#migrate-existing-applications

At the end, of course, theocbase.bat must be started.

Thanks for the input. It’s been noted and will be investegated
