:?: Can you share a screenshot that illustrates the issue at hand? (e.g. a screenshot that shows letters that are too small to read for you)


:idea: Please read How can I share screenshots on the internet? for details if you need help with sharing screenshots.

:idea: I see. So based on the browser in the background it seems that you prefer 200% Scale Factor, so the easiest solution would be to set the Windows Scale Factor to 200% and then have everything scale accordingly. Changing the setting in Windows seems to me the easiest and best solution. You seem to be using 200% in your browser so you might as well be using 200% for FileBot and any other application.


:idea: That said, newer versions of FileBot allow you to set the font family / font size manually via the Advanced Settings. Though you may run into layout issues if you manually configure overly large fonts. See Configure Thai fonts for details and examples.


:idea: If you're having a hard time choosing between 2 shows with the same name, then you'll want to hover your mouse over each series to get a tooltip with the complete series information, year, summary, etc.


:?: Is there any particular reason why you want to explicitly not use 200% in your Windows settings? You want small fonts for most applications, including Windows File Explorer, and only want big fonts in your browser and FileBot for some reason?

:idea: You can make FileBot bigger by setting the Windows Scale Factor to 200% instead of 100%. That'll make everything twice as big.

No reason, was just replying to you thinking it was already set to 200. Thanks for the information I will try it

You will almost certainly need to restart FileBot after changing the scale factor to apply the new settings. I would also recommend restarting your PC after changing the scale factor.
