Truncated Menus

[GrowMate]

I have a Huawei Matebook Pro 2020; Windows 11; QCAD Professional 3.29.6.0

The Huawei has a screen resolution of 3000 x 2000, 250 PPI

All is well, except that some menues in the Property Editor get quite severely truncated, making it difficult to identify line-types etc (see attached screenshot). Is there an "in-program" solution to this? I would rather not have to set the screen resolution to a lower setting if that can be avoided!

You can drag the property editor sidebar wider by grabbing the edge where the drawing window and property editor side bar meet towards the middle of the screen. It will allow all text to be seen but you will lose a little drawing space. I had this issue with the layers. Some of my layers have the same beginning name with differences at the end and I could not tell them apart.

A lower screen resolution would have an adverse effect.

It is all a bit relative ...
For example, your resolution is superior to mine: 2000x3000 260ppi versus Full HD 1920x1080 92ppi.
But your screen is much smaller: 13.9 inch across vs 24 inch.

In the pdf I measured up your text height being 16px and your Widgets toolbar iconsize to be 48px.
In my case that is 8px and 24 px.
Yours is thus twice as detailed but also smaller in size: 16/260=0.0615 versus 8/92=0.087 inch.
A screen caption in a bitmap file may be a better representation.

If your eyes permit it then perhaps you can teak it somewhat, see:

Or High DPI scaling is an option ...
The scale factor seems to be geared to enlarging, perhaps factors below 1 except 0.5 are feasible ...
Or maybe 'Auto' is already factor 2 and a factor between 1 and 2 is an option ...

Thanks for those two comments. Problem solved!
I was not formerly able to widen the Property Editor by dragging its left margin to the left.
However I now find that if I detach it completely it jumps out to the full width of the screen, after which I can drag it back to its normal location and adjust the width as required.
This is obviously not the ideal laptop to be doing cad on, but it's nice to have found a workround, so thanks again for your responses.

When stacked the widen control would pop up a bit more to the left.
You are actually modifying the invisible border of the Widget that holds the stacked Widgets.
