Question / Help 4K OBS Main Screen Display Issue

[Germaximus]

Hi,

So one of the reasons I don't normally keep my main Desktop resolution set to 4k is what I'm about to show here. I have adjusted some of the sizes for the desktop and such but this is something I don't know how to fix. How am I supposed to be able to read this? I'm an old man! lol

The text in the menus is way too tiny to be able to read when my desktop is in 4k resolution.

How do I fix this?

I don't think there is a fix on the user end as it seems to be a GUI development issue.

I'd imagine the source panel is a custom GUI window. The icons are probably the reason why its messed up with only one source of assets.
Lets say they are 16x16 in pixel size. If the font size is based off the icon size, say at a smaller size (10-12 point), then the line height of each source label is that size. As resolution increases, it isn't scaling upwards, and thats probably why its so tiny at 4K.

In other words, its hard coded/baked in and needs some tweaking.

As far as I remember, OBS adjusts according to dpi scaling. Make sure you don't run OBS under some compatibility settings such as Windows 7, 8 or explicitly set high dpi scaling. Disable all overrides in your OBS desktop shortcut. OBS runs best if you just use the default shortcut settings. If in doubt, create a new shortcut to obs64.exe.
