Menu Sizing - How to make it larger

[ohanaman007]

Hello,

I recently have loaded Captivate on my Surface Book (Win 10).  My current screen resolution is 2000 x 3000.

The issue I have is that when I open Captivate my menu is so small it is almost illegible.

Is there a way to increase the text size so I am able to read it a bit easier?

Thanks!

Which version of CP do you use? Only 9 is compatible with retina screens,

run it at full.resolution on Surface Pro 4. Only some cursors are very

tiny, like for resizing the first column in the Timeline

I am using version 9.

Can you check the % for Text and items? Mine is set at 200%, maybe yours is lower.

Resolution of the Surface Pro is not much smaller: 2736x1824. CP looks like this for me:

Beware: for capturing you have to change the AdobeCaptivate.ini file, the DPIAwareness has to be set to 1 in that case. For normal use of Captivate it has to be set to 0.

To change text, items, use right-click menu  on the desktop and you should see Screen resolution (or something similar, I have a Dutch version installed.

Hi Cameron,

Please goto C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 9 x64 and you can find AdobeCaptivate.ini file. Open this file in Admin mode, and change value of "DpiAwareness" from 1 to 0, to make the app to be un aware of the DPI scaling of the Device. But capture(Software simulation) will have challenges with this setting. To get toSimulation to work further please follow this help page.

How do you do this for Captivate 8?

[Lilybiri]

Captivate 8 is not compatible with retina screens, sorry!

[philcarlson]

Retina Screens - understood.

I did upgrade my computer, but I kept the same monitors. The resolution on my monitor is 1920 x 1080 on a 21 1/2 inch monitor. I'm not sure why I'm getting this problem on these monitors. Ideas?

[Lilybiri]

I answered about retina screens because the OP posted a screenshot which was clearly from a retina screen.

You don't have a retina screen, I'm using a similar monitor, what is your issue exactly? Because I'm fine with Captivate 8 and 9 without any change.
