How to resize the draft analysis color bar

Unread post by ryan-feeley »

Hi everyone,

I can't figure out how to make the draft analysis colorbar any size other than tiny. I've experimented with the Windows display settings. Nothing seems to affect it. Any ideas? Here is what it looks like on my machine:

Thanks!

If you are running SW on a 4K display, try to set the resolution at 1920x1080 and run SW again. It could be some dialog is not 4K compliant yet.

Nailed it! Thanks @mp3-250. I had changed the screen scale under the display settings, but not the actual resolution value :facepalm. For the record, I was using Swx2020 SP05 under Windows 10. Perhaps this has been corrected in a newer version. But I believe it took multiple years of Windows 10 releases before notepad worked correctly on "high dpi displays", so I won't hold my breath.
