Hi.  
Is there anyway to make ui text and game icon text etc way bigger? It’s waaaaay too small even when in the ui settings it’s set for like mine is 175% and this other text setting is set for the biggest.

If you use the Photon UI settings, I had spotted a button for making the text bigger. I am not sure if it is much better than how you have it now, but it helped me. I’m getting older and suddenly the regular text I realized I can’t see it as well lately.

Thanks.

The default is waaaay too small. So I changed the setting for 175% which is the max on my new as of Sunday the Alienware x15 R1 1080p 360hz 15.6” screen one. i7 11800. 16gb ram. 3070 and 512gb.

That helped a tiny bit. Then I found another screen that has text setting for large, max type setting. I forget the screen. So I maxed it. It helped a tiny bit more.

I notice something for the ui text or icons. I forget if that was the large, larger type setting. But I maxed every text size related setting I could find. Didn’t help enough. I still have to put my face less then 7 inches or so from the screen.

If I changed the windows display setting to bigger font size etc it may help but probably screw up everything. Changing the % on the display would make things better but then I think it would mess with Eve so the screen doesn’t show much. It’s 200% in windows now I think.

Ugh
