Hi

I'm running PowerShell Studio in an RDP Session. Unfortunately, the font size is very small for the menus and toolboxes, whereas the output box shows a proper size. Can I adjust something within the Software? I can't adjust font-sizes within the OS, as it isn't supported in RDP sessions.

Kind regards
Stefan

The size of the UI elements is controlled by the font scaling on the OS. The only fonts you can change is the editor's font and the output panel's font (which are shared).

You could also try overriding the application’s DPI handling by:
1. Right-clicking the product shortcut
2. Click Properties from the context menu.
3. Go to the Compatibility tab and check the "Override high DPI scaling behavior" option.

Or alternatively, have someone change the scaling directly on the machine.

FYI,
We fixed some DPI scaling issues in the next service release, which may help solve some of the label issues in the options.
