Storyline 360 app is blurry in Windows 10 on 4K monitor
This has been covered years ago on this forum, but no progress has been made. On high DPI monitors or 4K monitors, Windows 10 customarily scales (enlarges apps and text) to 200% or more. I have more than 65 apps on my PC, and all of them scale properly — they are all sharp regardless of scaling. Except for Storyline 360.
On my 4K monitor, Storyline 360 is blurry, like it's out of focus. Working all day in the app is an unpleasant experience. Changing the high DPI settings in the app's properties doesn't solve it — it introduces other problems.
Storyline 360 has been given years to clean up its scaling. Every other app on my PC scales properly and sharply — from free apps to complex apps such as Photoshop, Camtasia, and Premiere Pro. The only holdout is Storyline 360, which happens to be by far the most expensive app on my computer. For $1000/year, we should both expect and demand better.

Hello,
I share your frustration with Storyline 360's scaling issues on high DPI monitors. It's disheartening that this problem has lingered without improvement despite advancements in other applications. For a premium tool like Storyline 360, priced at $1000/year, better scaling is indeed expected.
While waiting for a resolution, have you explored alternative e-learning authoring tools? Some users have found success with CapCut for PC, which offers a smoother experience on high-resolution monitors. It might be worth exploring as a temporary workaround or a potential replacement until Storyline 360 resolves its scaling challenges.

Best regards,
+1 It seems 1440p is fine but 4k is definitely blurry. It looks like it's at 1080p instead of 4k.
wow, just got a 4k monitor and have the exact same issue, it looks awful :/
Don't worry, they increased the pricing this year and this problem STILL isn't on the roadmap. You will need to continue to build courses for the future on a 1080 monitor scaling.
Maybe if enough people open tickets, maybe it will get noticed?Yeah, strongly agree. I wish they would take a year just to focus on polishing things out. Like the Snow Leopard release of macOS.
