Any Chance of Making The Options Window Font Twice As Big?
tomos:
I just checked Display Properties / Settings: Screen Resolution is 1920 x 1080
Under Advanced, the DPI Setting is Large Size (120 DPI) - 125% Normal Size.
So I have increased the overall DPI Setting.

that's the key - FARR has not responded to this change.
In my experience, many apps dont respond, or dont respond well to the 125% setting...
(Can also be very problematic when on a 768 pixel height display and you cannot read or reach the OK button on dialogues - e.g. in IE.)

And this problem is going to get worse with the adoption of 4k Displays.

Re. 768 pixel height display: I had that very problem on my Samsung NC10 Netbook - some programs had configuration windows that couldn't fit in the display, so I couldn't reach the "OK" button, etc.
Some extensions in Firefox are like that, too - they have fixed-size set-up screens, but others have vertical scroll bars on set-up screens so you CAN reach all of the check boxes and OK button.

Indeed. My 24" display is set to 1920x1080, which makes everything look small so I need to increase the DPI to compensate.
Having said that, there is another option for me, as I just saw in Display Properties / Settings / Advanced. See attached image.
I could reset the DPI setting to Normal and adjust the appearance of icons and fonts using the settings in the Display Property / Appearance tab and Appearance / Advanced tab.
When I have time to do this (busy at the moment), I'll let you know the results.
