Forums Feature Suggestions mIRC UI too small

Hi there,

Due to probably a combination of both getting older and using a 3440 x 1440 resolution, I find the mIRC UI these days to be very small.
In games I would simply increase the UI scale to have a better view, and in almost all applications everything scales correctly with my Scale setting (which is set to 125%)

The fonts in the main windows and the Script editor luckily allows me to compensate in these areas, but for example the mIRC Options dialog is difficult to read for me.
I did find the high DPI override option, but this does not have the desired effect, since it makes mIRC look blurry.

Is there any other way to improve my experience?

Thank you!

Thanks for your post.

I have made a change to the next version that should hopefully resolve this.

The issue you are seeing is due to the way Windows 32/64-bit application resources work, where the font/size is a fixed part of the resource definition. mIRC still supports Windows XP, which means it has had to use a dialog font that is usable across many versions of Windows.

I recently had to make changes to mIRC's resource handling to support language translation and, because of that, this has made it far easier to update a dialog template's font/size on-the-fly. I have made a change so that on newer versions of Windows, mIRC dialogs will now use the default Windows GUI font. On Windows 10/11, this is Segoi UI, whose size can be changed in the Windows Settings Accessibility Text Size setting.

The next beta release will include this change, so you can test it out to see if it helps.

Thank you very much Khaled, will have a look in the next beta release
