How to resize the interface

I work on three 4K monitors and it appears that iClone 7 does not size to the screen, as do other products. So while the actor appears normal, the iClone interface is so tiny that I am going to need glasses to read it. Is this just a setting, I can change, or a bug?

Kind of depends on what you mean, as you weren't real specific.  If you mean sizing the windows, you can drag and drop and size them to any size you want.

If you mean the text and icons size, there is a setting under Preferences that allows for three different text sizes.  For some folks this will be enough (note you need to restart iClone after you change any of the settings there for it to take effect).

If you still think the text is too small you can apply the Manifest files trick, explained elsewhere on these forums (do a search for "Manifest" and/or "make text bigger" to find all the details.  It isn't an easy thing to explain but it's not hard to do (I have done it for iClone, XChange and Character Creator on my laptop, where the text is WAY too small to see).  Note that the manifest trick requires you to also change your Windows settings to enlarge text (but I assume you know this).

There was an announcement that dealing better with 4K screens is being worked on.

Yeah, I hope like hell that doesn't negate the Manifest file trick.

I had other software that supposedly "fixed" the 4K screen problem -- the problem is the "fix" doesn't let Windows adjust the size properly, so it only "works" if you like what they did as the defaults (because there's no way to embiggen things otherwise).  As long as RL doesn't muck up the ability to let me use Manifest files I'm a happy camper (because it's not just 4K screens that are the issue, so that working for them only might well screw up the laptop usage for the rest of us).
