I am about to lose my eyesight trying to work with the tiny size of the fonts on the menus and selections around the workspace on Storyline2 screen. I can increase and decrease the items in the middle of the workspace but not around the sides or top making it almost impossible to work with. I am using a Microsoft SurfacePro3 with keyboard and mouse. This was to be my main device for creating and editing courses since I am on the road all the time. I have seen many emails from other users about this issue and hope someone at Articulate or one of the Heros can help while I can still see straight. Thanks & Happy New Year!
I received one reply to this, but it didn't really fix things. I am running windows 8.1 and there is no DPI setting. The resolution is 2160X1440 and the slider is all the way to largest. Now I can barely read the stuff on Articulate, but everything else is gigantic. Does anyone else have any ideas for me? Thanks
Actually I replied to Michael that I lowered the screen resolution and that took care of things. I had to restart for the changes to take place. I really appreciate the help from you and Michael.
Thanks Leslie. I did see the smaller, medium & larger settings but since they didn't show the DPI and since I was trying to make the text larger it didn't seem that choosing smaller made sense,
You may find that user interface elements in Articulate Storyline are small and difficult to read on high resolution monitors—generally, monitors that display more than 2,000 pixels in width. We're working to improve performance on HD monitors. In the meantime, you may need to reduce your screen resolution while working in Storyline.

Make sure your DPI settings are 96 dpi, see here for info: http://www.articulate.com/support/storyline/articulate-storyline-dpi-support

Hi Sandi!
It sounds as if Michael's suggestion may be the one that you are looking for.
Here's how DPI translates in Windows 8.1:
Smaller (96 DPI or 100%)
Medium (120 DPI or 125%)
Larger(144 DPI or 150%)
So, try to change yours to smaller and see if this helps.

Awesome! Thanks for the update Sandi :)

No worries, glad you're back to good though :)
I am using Windows 10 and this solution only makes everything even smaller.
