Adjusting IMatch for High-resolution Displays

This topic explains how you can adjust IMatch optimally for your display size and eyesight.

IMatch automatically adapts to the screen resolution and the font scaling you have set in Windows.

In addition, you can configure many user interface elements individually to your taste. If you use a large 4K display or your eyesight is less than 100%, adjusting the size of fonts and icons will be helpful.

Menu & Ribbon Sizes

Under Edit > Preferences > Application you'll find most of the settings which enable you to customize IMatch optimally for your screen resolution and dimensions. The ribbon height is set in pixel, with a default setting based on the system control font height for your computer.

Tree Icons

The size of icons used for tree control elements like the Media & Folder View or the Category Panel can also be adjusted Edit > Preferences > Application.

File Window Icons & Font Sizes

Depending on your taste, you can switch between small and large icons in the File Window.

Windows Text Scaling

IMatch automatically adapts to Windows text scaling setting. See text scaling in the Application Settings for more info.

By customizing the font sizes used in your File Windows Layouts, you can improve readability or, by using smaller fonts, display more information in a smaller space.

File Window Tip

The default File Window Tip is created taking your screen resolution into account. If you later change the screen resolution or you want to use bigger font sizes, customize the font sizes in the File Window Tip via Edit > Preferences > File Window Tip.

Metadata Panel, Keyword Panel and Attributes Panel

These panels are used to input lots of text. To reduce eye strain you can customize the font size used for each of these panels individually. Use the corresponding controls found in their respective toolbars to adjust the font sizes to your taste.

App Panels, Map Panel, App Manager, ...

You can configure the global display scale for these panels under under Edit > Preferences > Application: User Interface. This allows you to render contents smaller or larger, depending on your screen size and resolution and your personal preferences.
