There has been a comment that on UltraHD screens, you can't zoom in enough to read the map, and the text in a hex is unreadable.

The user's workaround was to reduce resolution to 1980x1080 and use extra large icons (150%) in the windows settings.

tools->preferences, window update tab on the left... lets you get into a real mess in messing with the default sizes of text... not perfect, but may make it usable.... This prompted the javaFX branch.

Try this for windows 10: run joverseer as usual. start task manager (right mouse on the background of the toolbar and select task manager) find java.... right mouse click, open file location. right mouse click on the selected java executable...probably javaw.exe,....and select properties. then select Compatibilty tab, and check 'Disable display scaling on high DPI settings' and apply. close joverseer. log out of windows and log in again... see if joverseer is still the same.

I've just noticed that the options in windows have increased. find joverseer.exe in explorer (look in C:\Program Files (x86)\JOverseer ) right click on joverseer.exe select the compatibility tab, click the 'Change High DPI settings' button try the different settings and restart joverseer.

I've now got a 4K screen and can see some of the problems.

  1. Map Options-> Zoom 4 is still too small to read the hex location text on the map.
  2. Windows Scaling at 150% makes text readable, but the positions of the controls ignores the scaled text. So things like spaces between lines of text, and the size of drop-down menus etc is all wrong.
  3. The Icon scaling is unreliable, mostly not. ... except popup menu button for hex terrain under Hex Info.
  4. The Turn Report View isn't scaling either.
