CafeTran

CT on Windows 10, version 2017032501
UI texts are tiny (almost impossible to read)

Text in translation window is also tiny - I have to zoom to about size 35 just to read it without leaning forward.

Is there a simple way to scale the app correctly for my screen??

I've installed the "Creators Update" on my secondary machine.
There are now three options for DPI scaling: "Application", "System" and "System (enhanced)".
The only one that really works is "Application", which seems to be exactly the same as before the update.
Selecting "System (enhanced)" just makes the entire UI very small. "System" makes it all too large and blurred as well. Hooray Windows!

Official detailed information from Microsoft about the new high DPI scaling functionality

 

Just for your information.

Windows 10's next update (Creators Update) scheduled for release on April 11 is said to be able to handle app UIs better (more beautifully) on high-res monitors. The user will be able to override an app's original designed scaling with the OS settings (possibly, much in the same way macOS is doing now (?)).

This new feature should be available at:

Drive C
> "CafeTran Espresso" folder
> "cafetran" folder
> Cafetran.exe
Right-click on this file name and go to Property > Compatibility, where new scaling options should be added.

I'm looking forward to seeing if and how this new option will work for Java apps.

 

Just wondered why a TM that I had added to a CafeTran project (Transit file) wasn't listed in the Dashboard so I decided to add it before returning to the project (had to do a quick one in-between), via the folder icon. Now it looks like the memory added via this way still has the old, smaller font:

Wow, the text in the Dashboard has been enlarged considerably, in yesterday's build ...

These are the Windows settings:

 

Wow, that was quick!
This is now definitely usable, but still a bit small, or am I going blind? ;)
Of course, we will all have a slightly different preference, so some kind of basic UI font zoom in/out setting down the line would be great.

For reference, the "help" in the source box of my fake project below is about the size I would prefer the larger text of the UI to be, so really not much in it.

Thanks a lot for your very prompty help!

 

That would qualify as a hi-res screen?

The screen you posted, is called the Dashboard. Did you manage to get usable font sizes in the 'real' GUI?

Here's a screenshot of CafeTran running on Windows 8 on my hi-res MacBook Pro (2550 x 1600 if I'm not mistaken, on Parallels):

Dashboard:

This resembles more or less what you get with your 3200 x 1800.

GUI:

BTW: Have you enabled and screen font magnification in Win10? Perhaps that works for Java apps too?

From what you write, Igor, it looks like the menu fonts haven't adjusted automtically on my system, or maybe incorrect screen resolution is being passed to CT.
The window titlebar font size is more or less the right size for my screen resolution.
