Papadon Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Hi All, Running Big Box configured to display on 'Screen 2' as my CRT screen is set to the MAIN MONITOR in Windows to ensure that Retroarch launches correctly... In doing so, Big Box launches with extremely small text - I've tried altering the scaling settings in WIndows for that monitor, but it doesn't really make a difference. If I launch Big Box to this screen when this screen is set the MAIN MONITOR in Windows, it works perfectly fine with the proper sized text. Anyone else running into this issue? Not sure what to do to make it readable when launching on the secondary screen. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Papadon, I do believe that Big Box will take the height of your main monitor and determine text size based off of that. This is why when you set your screen as the main monitor, the text appears fine. Some custom themes are built using third party plugins that get around this somewhat, so you can say that it's theme dependent. Using these themes could help, or adjusting the resolution of your monitors to more closely match each other could help as well. You could also create your own theme and adjust text sizes to work with your setup. While these are not the best solutions, hopefully they can point you in the right direction.

Papadon Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 Thanks for the info @faeran! Any tips on what mainstream themes exist that accomplish this? Probably not ready for the 'make my own' adventure right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
