How do I make Button text larger?

Don't use a 4K monitor, or change the windows font size.

4K monitors are a huge pain.

Hi,
you can change the font size by opening the screen editor and editing the properties of the button or buttons
you are concerned with.

Easier to make a global change by changing the windows  screen resolution to one of the following:-
1920:1080
1600:900
1320:768

Hi folks,

I know this hasn't been commented on for a while, but I just upgraded to a brand new laptop with a much better screen and Mach 4 looked terrible. Quite a few things were so small as to be unreadable.

But all is not lost, as @joeaverage said, you can change the font size. But what he didn't say was that EVERYTHING about the screen sets can be changed. Font sizes, widths, tab heights, you name it. So while it's a bit of a pain and takes a bit to get it the way you want - you can definitely make use of your lovely new screen resolution. I'm now running at 3840 * 2160 and I have the screen looking just fine.

You do not need to change the resolution down to match (although this was definitely easier to work out what was going on).

I knew the screen sets could be modified but assumed it was for different machine types and/or requirements. My screen now matches my requirements (which include the resolution of my laptop).

I learnt something so thought I'd post in case it helps someone else.

Happy machining

Hi,
you must name your modified screen set with a unique name. Otherwise when you update Mach4 to a later build your screen set will get overwritten. Its enough effort to go through it once
and modify it to your satisfaction.....but it another to have to do it a second time!

Well that's a very good thing to know. Thanks @Craig, I'll do that right now :-)
