Ive just downloaded Storyline on my new PC but it seems to be tiny and I can barely see the buttons. I cant find any sort of options to amend and change this.
I agree, the menu bar and icons seems quite tiny. I also checked settings within Storyline and unable to find any that relates to this. Although I think this maybe is within Windows settings instead of Storyline. Does this occur only in Storyline or other applications/programs as well?
You might want to check the display settings and see if you can get any improvements. Try this (on Windows 10):
-Right click on your desktop, select Display Settings.
-On the left pane, choose Display.
-Under Scale and Layout, see if it is set to 100%(recommended). If not, try to change it to 100% and check Storyline again to see if it'll look better.
For further details, you also might wanna check this out:
I have tried this, but it only seems to be on Articulate. Do you know how to access the specific windows settings for Articulate? I cant seem to find them only the generic Windows settings.
I'm not exactly sure if we should be looking within Articulate, or some settings withing Windows, or there is a technical issue even. But just to give you possible options, there is a 'compatibility' settings within Windows per app/program. If you look for the Storyline exe file (I believe by default it's in C:\Progam Files), and right-click on it>properties, under the Compatibility tab, there are options for DPI(dots per inch) that might be related to this. You can try to play around these settings, but I recommend to remember the steps you'll do to be able to reset them back to default just in case.
As mentioned, I'm not sure if this is a Storyline settings, Windows settings, or a possible technical issue. We might need additional help on this if that doesn't work.
With Storyline 2, you'd need to use the DPI/Resolution setting of 96 or 100% as Pete mentioned. On a high definition monitor that can make it appear quite small which I believe is what you're running into. Storyline 2 is not designed to scale as some other programs are within Windows, so that's why you're not able to make it larger.
With the newer versions of Storyline 3 and Storyline 360 those were designed with high-resolution monitors in mind and provide a much better experience. If you want to take a look, you could start the trial of Articulate 360 here!
