Mac text size

[Stone804]

I have an issue because I'm a Mac user, my MacBook Pro Retina display has an issue where the text displays at such a microscopic size that the application is unusable. It looks fine on my normal larger monitor, but on the native 15" laptop screen it's unusable. I've tried resizing the native resolution to it's largest, and it "helps" but then the text is only slightly more readable, and all the windows are then so big that you can't navigate playing without constantly moving the windows around, etc.

Is there a way you can allow the user to increase the overall text size manually somehow? Or program it to work with screens with smaller pixel size? It seems to be tied to the fact that it is a retina screen.

I can obviously use my second monitor, but with the pandemic, I'd like to play with my friends not at my desktop area, kind of exhausted from being at a desk all day and just want to play on my laptop. Thanks!!

@Stone804,

I moved your post to it's own thread in the support forums.

You can update the UI scale by using the slider in the Settings; or by typing /scaleui 200 in tabletop mode. New installations will attempt to set a reasonable scale; but older installations need to be adjusted manually. We recently enabled Retina support for Mac builds, which caused things to appear smaller but much clearer.

Thank you!! I couldn't find a "start new thread" button, possibly because I'm new? But thank you I'll try that.

Thank you again, this did work, although I do wish the right side panels didn't become two columns. And for any of the programmers out there, the 200 text is better but the 150 scale for navigation is more user friendly. Just an FYI.

I've included screenshots from 230 (largest it seems to actually go even though it says it can go to 300 or 400 as well), 200, 150, and 100 which was the native.

(I THINK I attached correctly)
