So on a whim I notice there is a "large letter" or some such in settings, and I try it and now I'm royally screwed.

It now comes up telling me I have to change my resolution to 32 bits and 1020 or some such crap (which I'm NOT going to do -- I'll reinstall before I muck about with my perfect settings on my displays).  This is a terrible bug, a really really horrible one because it won't let you launch with nothing to do but reinstall.  Edit: Okay, I was able to fix it even though I didn't have that setting (so the bug is even more stupid, since the setting it's telling you you need to set it to is NOT what it will work with.  I found a setting I could use that was somewhat close and it allowed me to change the setting to it would work regardless).

At the very least this setting should tell you what resolution you will have to be running in for it to work -- absolutely silly for it not to give you that warning.

Someone should have tested this.

By resolution you mean screen resolution or the font size thingy in preferences?

Font size thingee.

Thanks for the warning

It used to work in iClone 6. I haven't touched it lately.

I have tested all three sizes with restarting iClone. The text is resized properly. So there may be something else at play here.

What is your display resolution?
What is your Windows display scaling set to?

1920x1080 and, yes, my scaling is set very large (I think 150% or so but that shouldn't be a factor as EVERY SINGLE OTHER PROGRAM I RUN, which is several hundred, work fine in this mode.  And it's THAT mode I can't change -- if I do every icon rearranges themselves and it takes a few hours to get them back properly.

In any case it should absolutely not work that way.  Again, no other program I have has any issues whatsoever, including during install.  I know RL products are weird in terms of using Windows settings (they are also the only ones I've ever had which do not respect how Windows natively sets the fonts on things) but this is really unacceptable.

The iClone window has a fixed minimum size, so display and text scaling scaling are increasing that, methinks. Once it is to big for the display, it will let you know.

But it sounds like you solved it.

Well, I "solved it" by not doing it -- it's still broken (in that I can't increase the font sizes.  As I said, out of literally hundreds and hundreds of Windows programs I have, it's the ONLY one that won't respect the font scaling and as a consequence I can barely see it.  Not much I can do about it nor apparently any of the devs either).

After checking with the dev team, they think the error occurs when you have a high scale setting that reduces the true resolution to less than 1024 x 76. So for example if you have a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and set your display scale to 175% the true resolution seen by iClone and CC is 1097 x 617 (1920 / 1.75 and 1080 / 1.75). As this is below the 1024 x 768 minimum it throws up the error.
