Toolbar buttons too small

Post by marklydarkly »

I have just loaded my Version 5 onto a brand new laptop and the toolbar buttons are so small I cannot see them.

Not sure if the attached shows it too well, but this is how they look.

Any ideas?

Thank you

I'm guessing the problem is that your new laptop has a higher resolution than your old one. That will make everything appear smaller. I don't have FH 5 any longer, but in FH 7 there is a setting in Tools > Preferences > Display where you can change the size of the toolbar icons.

This was a common problem with V5 on a high resolution screen. You could try some of the ideas at e.g. Display problems in Windows 10 (13873) but it was never satisfactorily sorted except by upgrading to V6, if I remember correctly.

But I don't think you can upgrade to FH v6 any longer, so it will have to be FH v7 :D
