Hello,

I recently bought a Lenovo laptop to use as a MP4 player / Internet Streaming TV sort of thing. I installed MSI Afterburner so I can monitor the temperature. However, the font displayed is tiny and I can't see it. Even when I have the laptop connected to an HDMI port of a TV it's still too small to read unless I run the mouse over it, then I can see it a tiny bit better but not much. Is there a way to increase the font size is a later version? I'm using whatever was the latest version as on about January or so of 2022.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Ax
 
There is a scaling option in Afterburner setting I tend to scale to 200% when I use the App I think it is under appearance.
 
That's the skin. I'm referring to the System Tray. Which on my desktop, that looks like this:

The 66 is the CPU temperature, which on my desktop (that is set up for low vision) it is quite easy to see. However, on the laptop that number is much smaller, the screen is 15.5" thus much smaller than my 32" monitor, and the fact that I am just a few points of visual acuity away from being "legally blind", I can't see it unless I run the mouse over it, or do as you suggest and look at the skin. Which would not be a quick glance while watching a movie. I don't know if the laptop's OS being Windows 10 has anything to do with it, but I suppose it could. In fact, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised...
 
That is a Win setting you may need to adjust the Scaling options

I was able to make the font size bigger. You can do it by changing the DPI settings. Find your MSI Afterburner shortcut. Could be on your Desktop. Then right-click on it and select Properties. Select the Compatibility tab. Then near the bottom click "Change high DPI settings". Then at the bottom under "High DPI scaling override", click the checkbox and select System. Then click Ok.
