HiDPI/Quick Settings Swap

Help & Support
1

Hi!

I've recently bought a retina macbook and am running windows and Dopus on it. Dopus copes really well actually and never looked better - aside from the navigation buttons at the top of each lister looking tiny, things are good. The only issue I am struggling with is the size of fonts. On the native (2880x1800) screen fonts appear small as you would expect, and I adjust them upwards in each of the (8-10) font setting areas. When plugged into my external monitor at work, the text is then very large and I adjust them back one by one again!

I certainly wouldn't expect baked-in support for my use-case given that Windows is yet to crack the High DPI nut itself, but is there a quick way to:

a) Quick change between settings files? (link a couple of buttons to two settings files and apply it immediately)
b) Globally change the fonts rather than going through every subsection each time?

Thanks for your time :slight_smile:

Font settings are stored in the main prefs.oxc file under /dopusdata\ConfigFiles. You could have something which exits Opus, swaps that file around, then restarts Opus. It will obviously change a lot more than just the fonts if the two versions of the config file are not kept is sync, however.

(The config files are XML so diffing/syncing them is actually pretty easy.)

The config backup & restore menu item and/or commands can also be used to automate the process somewhat, but they would replace even more of the configuration each time.

Sounds good - I will give it a try!

many thanks :slight_smile:
