Question

High resolution / 4K - menus on Adobe Captivate 2019 unreadable

My Notebook (Lenovo P53) has a 3840x2160 pixel 4K display. To keep menus (office etc.) readable I'm using a scaling of 250%. I'm also using a 4K monitor (Samsung) with the same resolution and a scaling of 200%.

 

In fact Adobe Captivate 2019 is one of the only programs running on Win 10 Pro showing the menu bar with a very small font - it is almost unreadable. To have a better comparison I place here a screenshot with Winword open. You may read without problems the menu bar of Winword - but the menu of Adobe Captivate is very small.

 

I found and used the "dpi-awareness"-option from Adobe Captivate 2019 as the programm will not start if this option is not set.

 

Could I change the size of the fonts somewhere?

    Did you change dpi-awareness? Do not do that, unless you need it for screen recording. Even in that case personally I prefer to lower the screen resolution so that I can get down the display resolution to 100%.

    When using Captivate besides screen recording I am perfectly happy with the display resolution proposed as optimal for my screens. At least for the menus, the only small items are in the timeliine.

    In fact screen recording for me is one of the most used featured. I do not need 4K Videos at all - but changing the resolution of the monitors to 1920x1080 does not help. Captivates tells me that a 4K Monitor was detected and therefore DpiAwareness=1 is needed.
