so 3DX and CC may still be kind of small, depending on your monitor size.

Rampa, I have perfect 20/20 eyesight, and I have to be 4 inches from the screen with reading glasses on to see the UI on 3DX - if the text were ANY SMALLER, I'd need a MICROSCOPE to see it!!  Are they even CONSIDERING fixing that? (along with the other bugs) I was SHOCKED 3DX7 had ZERO changes to the ridiculously tiny UI~V~

This would be a welcome and much needed point / update for IC7. This has been an issue for years and would seem to be a relatively easy fix.

At the bottom of the Preferences panel, there is an option of three different text sizes. It will also some of the widgets and the timeline cell-size. Try setting it to the largest of the three, and see if that is just enough bigger to read at native resolution of your 4K monitor.

Only iClone has the settings, so 3DX and CC may still be kind of small, depending on your monitor size.

The Manifest thing, let's you work like if you were having an old CRT monitor.  Of course, you can see the interfase and Menues, but if you invested in a High End equipment to work with iCLone, as I did, you expect it to be able to work natively at high resolutions. My computer monitor is 4K, but if I launch any of the Reallusion packages, letters and menues are so tiny that are not workable at all.  So I have to go back to the 90s and work with a VGA like style if I want to be able to see something on the screen. I hope Reallusion comes out with some patch or update that let us work with the latests technologies available.

Yes, I really am running Windows 10 on a 500GB SSD, natively, (Not using Bootcamp), using EFI, AHCI at full SATA III Speeds using an Areca RAID PCIE Card. (Bootcamp is way too slow because it emulates SATA using IDE protocol at 133/MB/s, this configuration has two Xeon 4 core CPU's for a total of 8 physical cores, (16 with Hyper-threading enabled) and 48 GB of RAM.

Thank you, Kelleytoons for pointing me in the right direction using the "Windows Manifest Trick" I will search using the method you described, read the posts and implement it.



MacPro 4.1 (EFI Flashed to 5.1) * 48 GB DDR3 RAM * macOS Sierra 10.2

What we do is called the "Windows Manifest trick" but your specs confuse me -- are you somehow running iClone on a Mac?  

Assuming those specs are either wrong or misleading, you will find your answer by doing a forum search for the two words (make sure you search for both and not for "either" -- it's in the advanced search options) of "Windows Manifest".  That will reveal all (but let us know if you can't find it and I'll find where it is and put a link).

I am having an issue with small font size on a 4k monitor , I went to Preferences  under System there was three "A" icons to change to small, medium, and large.  I chose the large font icon and restarted Iclone 7, but the font size in the UI is still tiny and hard to read.  I am using the latest version of iclone 7. 
Is there something else I can do to enlarge the UI or font size?
