    I hope if there's an update they'll do something about font sizes in the interface. Even using all the usual tricks, I can't get 4.8 menus, etc. big enough it doesn't give me eyestrain. Been so long since I could last use Studio comfortably, I'm afraid I'll have forgotten what I used to know when (or if) a version I can use finally does come out. sad

    Yea, allot of app makers will make a large and small UI options.  I see mine OK so no complaints here but I certainly understand eye strain.

    You realise there is an option within windows, shown below, and other OSs to change font sizes, or display options?

    It might help.

    Here's hoping; always ready for new stuff; dynamics, please let their be dynamics.

    Are you sure it's not that regular urge we get to give DAZ all our money?surprise

    DS like Carrara and many OS agnostic software ignore most OS settings when it comes to font sizes, that's what happens when people create software without using native UI API:s.

    I think if we get that, which I really really hope so too, we won't see that until 5 or at some point during the 5 version path.  I think we will have at least one or two more in the 4 version path at this point....

    Yep, known about that since my first experience with a computer nearly 20 years ago. Like I said, it's one of the tricks I'm using, pretty much can't do anything without it. But for some reason, since the last version or so, Studio is ignoring it. I am also having issues with the Daz (and Rendo) forums ever since they changed things. Like teeny tiny text whenever I try to type a post. I have to use the Heading format option just to see what I'm typing but sometimes I forget to switch it back to normal before posting so it doesn't bork the page for you normal-eyes folk. (Sorry about that, Cho.) blush

    So far I haven't found anything else that ignores system font settings, and when I was using Daz 4.5 it wasn't too bad when I reset my resolution and ran the Windows accessibility settings. But now I just can't seem to get it working right at all. Maybe I should give in and get a screen magnification system, trouble is the only one that doesn't slow my rig to a paralytic snail's pace costs about as much as a brand new computer.

    DId anyone else see that Daz Studio includes a copy of QTDesigner? You can start it from the Daz Studio install directory.It's called Designer.exe.This is the UI IDE used to make QT apps.I have no clue what to do with it,but someone with some programming experience might.It looks a bit like a Poser or Studio type program that gives you primitives to work with and does some of the grunt work.Maybe one of the coders that come to the forums could make a simple font changer tab for studio using it and the SDK?

    C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\Designer.exe

    Unfortunately, I'm not sure that can be done without rebuilding the entire existing UI...or at least access to the project files/uncompiled version of it.

    You mean to change the font? So the font stuff maybe hardcoded and compiled in :( that sucks
