Screen Resolution / Tiny Ignition Question

[cmisztur2]

Hi, I got a new Windows laptop and have a second, extended desktop hooked up. Resolution is at 1080. Ignition is so tiny… I can’t read anything. Have you guys come across this?

Thanks
Chrs

your resolution is at 1080p on both screens? is the project tiny, or the designer, or both? is it tiny on both monitors?

Windows 10 HiDPI Scaling

Previously, to scale the Ignition designer, client and the native client launcher, you would have to edit the resource with ResTuner. However, in more recent versions of Windows 10, it is far simpler. All you have to do now is right click on java.exe, javaws.exe and the native client launcher, and click properties. Then, click the compatibility tab. In that tab, you will see a settings called “Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by.” This typically defaults to Application. …

You should also be able to use Java 9 with the latest release of Ignition to solve High DPI issues.

Assuming every install you support is running ignition 7.9.6 or higher

Yeah, Java 9 won’t play well with previous versions. You’d need Java 8 installed too.
