I have purchased a new computer and when I have to upgrade I have a tendency to get the latest and greatest. I am distressed to see the screen after installing Wealth-Lab Pro on the computer. See attached photo.
The function toolbars and fonts are exceptionally large and the Data Panel and Drawing toolbar are not eligible. This computer is using Windows 10 and has a NVIDIA® GeForce® MX150 (4 GB GDDR5 dedicated) graphic card and the display is 17.3" diagonal 4K IPS WLED-backlit (3840 x 2160).
What if anything can I do to correct this issue?

Hi Jeff,

The issue you've encountered concerns incorrect application display. It may appear as font size being too big or too small, text hard to read, overlapping labels, Strategy parameters 'missing' or cut off and so on. The issue is known and listed on our Open Issues page.

Please try to alleviate it by applying one of known workarounds:

Open Issues > (146) Application needs to support 120 DPI throughout

On Windows 10 (Creators Update and up) the most promising option is to right click on Wealth-Lab's shortcut, select Properties, then under the Compatibility tab set 'Override high DPI scaling behavior' to 'System' from the dropdown.

"New computer woes" was a suboptimal topic title so I've renamed it. Consider choosing descriptive topic titles next time e.g. "Toolbars and fonts are large". Thanks.

P.S. There's a much easier way to take a screenshot :)

1. Strike "Prt Scrn" key on your keyboard
2. Start MS Paint (built in Windows)
3. Paste the image with Ctrl-V
4. Save in PNG format

P.P.S. You should really stick with PNG as JPG is a poor choice for screenshots. If you haven't seen this famous comics, it's perfect time:
