Increase MenuBar Menu Bar Font Size too Small Captivate 8

Report · Aug 04, 2016

Can't find any recent posts on whether someone has a fix to the almost impossible to see menu bar in Captivate 8 when used on a high resolution display. I am using a Surface Pro 4.

I haven't tried this myself as right now I'm on an iOS device but check out this article about changing text using scaling. This might help you.

Problem is, every other app resizes. It's only Captivate which can't respond to a high DPI - scaling will affect all those apps that don't need help. Look at the difference between Captivate and Chrome. Come on Adobe!

Only Captivate 9 is compatible with Win 10 and with Retina screen. I am using it on a Surface Pro 4, and a laptop with Retina screen. I kept my older desktop PC with Win7 and a normal screen when I have to work with Captivate 7 or 8. and with the exception of the cursors on the Timeline everything works fine. However to capture a software simulation you have to edit an ini file.

I'm sorry, but only solution seems to be to upgrade to CP9. It is to be recommended to check if older applications do run when you acquire new OS and/or hardware. I learned that lesson the hard way myself.

I'm using Captivate 9.02 on a Surface Book with Win 10, with a changed DPI=1 but I still have the tiny tiny Captivate problem.

You only have to set DPI=1 when you want to capture something, not when working with Captivate. I am also on a Surface Pro 4.

I don't agree about other apps rescaling without any issue, have a lot of applications which I cannot even change at all, and are very, very tiny. The default settings of CP9 work perfectly on this screen, it is only when you have to capture an application that you have to change the ini file. I agree that that is cumbersome, but most application do not do screen captures at all, isn't it?

I'm a systems trainer so spend half my days recording software simiulations - the other half editing. I should not have to change the .ini file at all. As for screen captures I did a quick video capture using Snagit on the Surface Book and it was perfect.
