See the text bigger only inside one program in w10 home

[Contro]

The new laptop has 1920x1080 resolution.
That's good for almost any case.
But for one program the letters are too small for me . so I would like to configure the size from windows only for this program, not in generally.

How can I do that with windows 10 home edition 64 bits ?

Best Regards

Resize a Font individual to a specific size can only be done, aslong i know, by application itself.
Windows just brings either reset all for one dpi/size or use screen magnify.
For some quick results, there might be a chance to AHK it, but AHK aint my territory so i can only help to program a resizer but for that i would need a minimalistic portable version of your target program.

If I can scale inside the application would be enough.
That is apply a scale factor only to the target application.

Is it possible ?

In windows we can scale but for all the applications. I only need one.


edited : 125 % is a good factor for me.

Have you tried playing with the Compatibility/High DPI settings per application? It's in the <Right-Click-icon>/Properties pages of the application.

And some applications support Ctrl-scroll-wheel-scrolling for scaling only their window/font.

After thinking a bit on your problem i might have a good working solution.
Install VMware/Hyper-V/VirtualBox or similar.
Install targets program OS and the target itself.
Adjust the windows setting (125% you said).
From now on you have just this app upscaled and the rest is still like it was.

Requirements:
50-100GB free space on a drive
6-8GB RAM, 2-4GB for virtual machine
time to install and set everything up.

Does that method solve your problem?

No . I can't get it.
I have execute in all ways the compatibility program solver
change "cambiar configuración elevada de PPP" affects all system.

So I have to close the session and enter again.

The program I am trying to configure is from 2001 April
So I can't scale the font with the mouse wheel

Simply set up another virtual machine, just for your "i want that app upscaled"-thingy

Scaling ability is a programmers feature not a standard, even if nowadays many apps can do.

Understood.
At the present moment I am a happy man .
I have almost finish configuring the new laptop.
 

I have assumed the best advice I can receive and will take into consideration in the near future.
I have almost 200 virtual machines under virtualbox....

I bought the new laptop of second hand with 5 hours of use.
An Authentic luxury bought to a professional programmer .

The novelty is that kind of ssd nvme card faster.
I am thinking in the near future modify the desktop with a system nvme card of 1 TB. I am using a SATA SSD 500 GB and almost no space at the present moment !

I have learned a lot from my seller.
The laptop is Hewlett Packard originally with Freedos. Now with windows 10 home. And with a set of features wonderfully selected by my seller.
That sort of laptops are not found locally in Tenerife.

 

By the way KodeZwerg .
I am using a program developed in Delphi I think : pspad.

Is a program I get a lot fond in the past, present and future; but when I maximize the icon from the task bar open by miliseconds a black window .

Can I solve this ?

Note : happen under windows 10 home.

I open a dedicated post to my problem with pspad. I try in the pspad forum, but I am not receiving any answer.
