Hello,

bought a new laptop and the Lumerical GUI does not scale properly. How do I fix the font size in the GUI? (The script font can be changed only when I use an external monitor, working on a laptop monitor does not allow me to change the script font. The font size of icons and environment can not be changed on either monitor.) It is really irritating. 

I am using Windows 11
Resolution 1920 x 1080

Best regards,
Martin

Solution:
1. Locate the fdtd-solutions app (search for FDTD and open file location)
2. Select & right click -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Run in compatible mode
