Context menu small icon in high DPI screen
« on: April 17, 2019, 06:17:29 PM »
I have a UHD screen and the avast icon next to the context menu (right click menu) entry is awfully small. Does anyone know how to fix this ?

UHD Maybe it's time to adjust the font size. To me, everything looks proportionally small.

Might be really tiny, but at least it is there allied to the explanatory text it isn't too bad.

This is a think that (certainly) happened previously in UHD monitors, even on my 1920X1080p 15" laptop I had to increase font size by 25% in the Windows Display settings.

avast version 19.4 (updated)
windows 10 home 64bit

fonts in the context menu are as big as they are on the file explorer (list view for example). They are scaled 300% for a 3840x2160 resolution. All other icons are scaled, except avast.

My scaling is set at 100%. My layout is 1920X1080 if that's of any help. That setting is also the recommended setting.

The settings I mentioned are also the recommended settings for my screen.
