Small Font on Windows 10 (in RDP session)

Post by rednoah »

If you are using the FileBot Desktop application via RDP on Windows 10 then you may run into font size / scale issues:

:arrow: The issue seems to be exclusive to the System Theme which uses Windows API to draw the UI, so you can use Dark Theme instead to fix the font size issues at hand.



:idea: You can enable Dark Mode in the Windows settings to enable Dark Theme in the FileBot Desktop application:

:idea: Alternatively, press Win+R and then run the following command to force Dark Theme via the configuration file regardless of Windows settings:

Shell: Select all

filebot -script fn:properties --def net.filebot.theme=Darcula

Filebot: 5.1.6
OS: Windows 11 Pro

I have done a clean install of Windows 11 Pro and Filebot... I am accessing Filebot GUI directly from the PC in question.

Still have the small text problem which makes Filebot totally unusable...

Help?

Follow-up: I used the command:

filebot -script fn:properties --def net.filebot.theme=Darcula

That seems to work....

:arrow: You can also switch to Dark Mode in the Windows 11 settings. See How do I use Dark Mode? for details.
