Help with larger icons and contrast text?

I’m sorry I thought you wanted lower contrast. At night the high contrast makes it hard to see.

My apologies.

No worries mate. You tried to help. I appreciate that. Lowering resolution does not help either. I found the magnifier in Windows the best toll for enlarging text but the map tools are pretty much unreadable too.

BTW: just a Q Bstanko6, where did you find the texture coding? I will try for myself

Lowering resolution will help for sure if you make it right. You will undoubtly get bigger fonts everywhere, the laws of geometry are constant (stretched pixels).

Lowering the resolution results in a smaller screen. The lower resolution wont adapt to my initial screen of 2560x1440. I found a way though by changing the colors to 16 bit.

2560x1440 is also a 16:9 ratio, so by chosing another smaller resolution at 16:9 ratio that your monitor supports, you will get bigger fonts and fullscreen. To get fullscreen (instead of a 'smaller screen' as you say) you must , as I said above, change your scaling options in your GPU grafic options (Nvidia Panel for Nvidia cards, similar panel for AMD cards).

Changing color will only be of little help. And if you are that able to change color, you are also able to change the scaling options - correctly.

Thx XenonSurf. Any suggestion how I can change the scaling option? I tried to do this by changing the compatibility tickbox of the high DPI-adjustment into ignore.

What is your GPU and OS?
