    hi all, hopefully a quick and easy fix...

    just installed toolkit on windows 8.1, and it looks extremely small and the text in dialog boxes etc are all squashed up' if that makes sense - cant view labels next to drop down boxes etc

    tried changing the resolution settings but hasn't helped - is there a specific resolution I should set it to?

    Windows is running off a mac on a separate partition through bootcamp, but I don't see how this would make any difference

    any help much appreciated

    kind regards, dan

    Hi Dan,

    Toolkit is developed and designed at 96dpi. Windows 8 uses a scaling percentage instead of dpi (100% = 96dpi, 125% = 120dpi). If you set scaling to 100% I believe you should get the correct Toolkit proportions. From there you can adjust your resolution to make it bigger/smaller.
