Is there a way to increase the size of your screen within FG? I'd really like to increase the resolution out to increase my real estate so to speak.

Only ways I can think of are maximizing/dragging the window so it fills the screen, or increase your desktop resolution.

A possibly more expensive method (unless you have some old ones lying around) is to get another monitor so you can dual screen.

I highly recommend dual screens. If you set it up to extend your desktop (super easy in your desktop properties) then you can just drag the FG window across to the 2nd monitor. I actually recommend this for general laptop/computer use as well. You'll wonder how you ever worked without it.

Note that dragging the edge of the FG window to a size that fills your screen works better for most people than using the maximize window option. It's easier to switch back and forth between applications that way.

If you go into the settings and put UI Scale down below 100% it'll make all windows and such smaller. I'm running one 1920X1200 screen with it at 75% and it works out perfectly for me. I don't even have to extend it onto my second monitor.

Excellent tip! I now have 3 monitors, so it is not such a problem, but i have dropped it to 95% which does help
