Is there a "zoom display" option? The fonts and controls are too small.

Hi,

With Ableton Live there is a handy "zoom display" option in preferences where you can make the entire display zoomed to make the text and controls easier to see and read. Is there an option like this within Pro Tools 10?

Thanks,

Chris

if you're on a mac,
you can do it thru universal access.
(can even be mapped to buttons on trackballs, etc…)

Thanks for the reply but unfortunately I am using a PC.

Only real way is to change your screen resolution to something smaller. Then everything will be exponentially larger.

Just to clarify. This means to set your screen resolution to a lower resolution. For example if you are currently at 5120 x 2880, try setting it to 2560x1440 or any supported combination for your monitor. A lower resolution will in turn make everything on the screen appear larger. It may seem counter-intuitive at first but will make sense when you really think about it. You get bigger text and buttons but will not be able to fit as much on the screen. This may be a better solution for you if the text and buttons are too small to see.

Personnally I have my creens set at 1360 x 768 pixels.
