Re: appearance of AS in Windows 10

If so, it is a major bug! If other people dont have the same problem cannot see it being a major bug. I appreciate the screenshot I showed was without a project open, but when I open a project I do not notice an appreciable difference. I did ask if there was a way of changing the background because ...

Re: appearance of AS in Windows 10

General tab settings for the three Folders?


Sorry but which three folders are you refering to?

Was hoping to change background colour as that may be having some effect on the way I am seeing the font.(Need greater contrast)

Re: appearance of AS in Windows 10

Sorry should have said that the appearance is the same with a project open. Could not transfer AS settings as laptop gave up the ghost.Luckily had FH projects backed up to external hard drive.

Will try altering font. Is ther a way of altering the colour?

Wonder if anyone is having same problem as me.I recently purchased new laptop and installed both FH v7 and AS.(Both 64 bit versions)
FH looks ok but when I'm using AS I find the screen appears slightly blurred i.e fonts etc not very sharp. Any suggestions as to how to improve appearance?

v7 trial

If I download the 30 day free trial of v7 would this overwrite my v6. or work as a 2nd installation.And after the 30 days I decide not to instal v7 would it revert to v6 automatically or would I need to reinstal v6.

V7 free(?) upgrade.

Am I dreaming or not- could quite possibly be a senior moment- but I'm sure when I purchased my copy of v6 it said I would be entitled to a free upgrade to v7.I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. If I am entitled to free upgrade how do I go about this?
