ScaleUI?

[Jankin]

So I'm wanting to test this as much as I can but one big issue, I can only use it for maybe at the most 15 mins, this is due to the lack of scaleui, why do you ask? Its because everything being so crambed without Scaleui and that hurts my eyes after awhile, I don't have this issue in FGClassic due to being able to scale the UI.

Please add this or FGU is pointless to me for now.

Thanks! <3

On the known issues list...quite a few of us need it...

Until /scaleui is implemented, You can use Windows display scaling (https://www.lifewire.com/using-windows-10-display-scaling-4587328) to get a similar effect.

Please let me know when the ui scaling is implemented, tried to use the windows display scaling and made a complete mess on my work pc, it wasn't pretty hahahaha.

Here's a hack I've used to force just Fantasy Grounds Unity to upscale.


Open regedit.exe as an Administrator and navigate to the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > SideBySide.
Right-click the right pane and choose NEW > DWORD (32 bit) Value.
Type PreferExternalManifest, and then press ENTER.
Right-click PreferExternalManifest, and then click Modify.
Enter Value Data 1 and select Decimal.
Click OK. Exit Registry Editor.

Next open notepad and paste the following:

</assembly>
Save the file as "FantasyGrounds.exe.manifest" and place it in C:\Program Files\SmiteWorks\Fantasy Grounds.

Everyone should back up your registry before you edit it. What zombielord is suggesting is pretty safe on it's own, but the wrong changes to your registry file can cause your computer not to boot. Just make sure you take a backup and follow the instructions, don't "just wing it".

[zombielord]

Thanks LordEntrails what you said is very true. Don't just go into your registry and change things willy-nilly. I considered making a batch script installer, but I always feel it's best to see the changes if it's a quick-fix hack. (Easier for people to see and understand what's going on)
Hopefully Fantasy Grounds will fix the scale issue in the software soon, but this makes it usable until then.

I set my second monitor to a usable resolution and move The Unity over there. This is also a temporary fix until Scale UI works.

Fortunately Windows 10 has the ability to scale different programs selectively.
1. Right-click on the FGU executable
2. Click Properties
3. Click Compatibility
4. Click Change high DPI settings
5. Play with these settings

I have been able to really improve the text clarity and size on my laptop. This actually fixed FGC for me as well (no longer have to use /scaleui there, either)

Tried all the settings, no luck for me.

Looks like the scaleui command was just implemented (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?51772-FGU-Playtest-Updates&p=480340&viewfull=1#post480340).

I just tested it on my laptop with 4k screen, and with "/scaleui 200" everything looks great!

thank you all so much!!!
