Don't feel bad, I have the same problem here and still can't figure out a way to make it easier to read..

 

Maybe the programmers didn't test their work on modern computers or something.. Hell, this is an HP Spectre x360 that I got at BestBuy and I don't thing it's anything too elaborate for them not to test..

 

Guess we can only stand by and wait for updates..

Hi

It is a question of balance - if the menus, fonts and icons are made larger you have less working area.

The current trend for high resolution screens means that most software menus are appearing relatively smaller.

If you are struggling to read the small menu texts try changing your screen resolution one or two steps lower than the default, eg for 1920 * 1080 go down to 1600 * 900.

If you are using Windows 8 then you can change the text size by right clicking the desktop, select Personalise, Display and change the Text size option

The message from John EB was helpful in helping me to run this software on my HP laptop.. However, it might make good sense to include this data in a readme.txt file for other potential clients.  Or, add some type of menu option so the user can do a global change on the menu text size without having to manipulate the resolution of the machine.

I understand the reasoning, but Magix should do a better job of warning people of this behavior and why it happens.

Just sayin'
