Set the scaling to be performed by Windows
#Acronis true image 2014 screen software#
To prevent cutting GUI elements that do not fit on the screen, the software stops respecting and applying the relative scaling, and the GUI is displayed as if the scaling was set to 100%. The effective resolution is the current screen resolution, divided by the currently set pixel scaling factor. By "work area" we understand the the display area of the monitor, excluding the Windows Task Bar. The effective resolution of the display's work area is below 1024x768. When it goes below 1024x768 for the work area of the monitor (the display area, excluding the Windows Task Bar), the GUI elements of Acronis True Image would no longer fit on the screen and the software resets its scaling to 100%. In other words, the effective screen resolution reduces. When the relative scaling is changed from 100% upwards, one pixel starts occupying more than one dot and the number of effective pixels that fit on the screen reduces. As the relative scaling goes above 100%, all graphical user interface elements start occupying more dots and therefore, become visually bigger than they were with 100% scaling. If you have a high-DPI monitor, chances are you use the option "Change the size of text, apps and other items " under Windows Display settings to scale things up on the screen to a comfortable level. When pixels are densely packed on the monitor, the same amount of pixels occupy much less space physically - and the text, buttons and other user interface elements, that are measured in pixels, become visually smaller, compared to earlier version of monitors (low DPI monitors, with less pixel density). When the physical size of monitors does not grow as much as the amount of the displayed pixels, the density of pixels increases, and such monitors are called high DPI monitors (high amount of dots per inch). "High resolution" display here means that more pixels fit on the screen compared to earlier models, and more details can be displayed. The issue can occur on high-resolution displays, known as 4K monitors, 6K, 8K etc. Text, labels and other elements in the graphical user interface of Acronis True Image are too small and hard to read and use.Ĭlick here to skip to the solution part.
