Hello, I have found myself occasionaly using QLC on a pc that is hooked up to a 55" display. I have already used the windows scaling option and that has worked well for other programs. However it wasn't as effective with QLC. I can only go so large before the text outpaces the size of the box (button) it is in and the text gets cut off. My buttons and silders are a challenge to use.
Is there a way I can scale the UI for this program?

Unfortunately Jay did not tell us which resolution:
- he uses for his Virtual Console (on Virtual Console click the Tool icon, far Right on the Sub-Menu bar) and
- what resolution(s) his regular display uses and
- what resolution his occasionally used 55" display is set up to.
If you design your Virtual Console for Full HD (1920 * 1080) and then run it on a 4K (3840 * 2160) display, you can expect a smaller window.
Have a look at topic "Command Line Parameters" of the On-Line Manual: https://www.qlcplus.org/docs/html_en_EN ... ters.html
You could try if the fullscreen resize option will solve the problem:

You could try if the fullscreen resize option will solve the problem:
-f or --fullscreen
Description: Start the application in fullscreen mode
Parameters: Method (either 'normal' or 'resize')
Examples:
Tell the window manager to give the whole screen space to QLC+:
qlcplus -f
qlcplus --fullscreen
qlcplus -f normal
qlcplus --fullscreen normal
Resize QLC+ to take up the whole screen space (useful in custom X11 sessions without a window manager):
qlcplus -f resize
qlcplus --fullscreen resize
A QLC Workspace is like a Bob Ross painting: "it's your world, you can create whatever you want!"

You are correct I am running the display at 4k so the virtual console area was quite small and thus all the buttons. I did find a fix and want to share what worked for me.
Changed a setting under windows compatibility mode.
Right click QLC+ icon > Properties > Compatibility > Change High DPI Settings > (Tic Box) Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by "System".
I guess windows scaling I used to make my desktop bigger affected QLC negatively?
Thank you for the replies.
