Windows 11 and MMW5

Post by Maximus Decimus »

Hi! It seems to be blurry on my 2K monitor. Any solutions?

Are you using custom DPI/Text Size settings in Windows? What looks blurry, just text, or also graphics/Artwork? Which Skin (Tools > Options > Skins) are you using and which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey?

I have found that if you have a text size increase set under "ease of access, display, make text bigger" in windows settings, MM5 seems to respond to this more so than other windows programs, and thus text for me gets quite fuzzy and oversized.

MM4 by contrast did not respond to this setting at all, ie fonts remained at standard size, but very clear.

Experiment with this setting to see if you can find one that works. Also, of course try different skins to see if one of themis clearer than the others.

For MM4 try to change state of Disable full screen optimization in Shortcut properties -> Compatibility Tab.

So conversely, is there a way to make MM5 IGNORE this setting as did MM4?

For those of us who want to see as many lines as possible on screen?

My bad I did a mistake I was using MMW4 and switched to MMW5 and everything's works fine now. Thanks.
I am using 125% DPI Size because its a 2K monitor and everything is really small. Text looks blurry
