Hi guys… I just started using UGS recently and when I open the program the window is super small. I need reading glasses to see it. No kidding.
Any ideas how to make it normal?
Java 7 and 8 don’t have good support for HiDPI screens. You can upgrade to an early release version of Java 9, or switch to the platform version of UGS to fix it.
Thanks @WillWinder. Saw your reply on GitHub. I’ll use the platform version and see how that goes.
Windows 10 machine:
Find java.exe you installed.
Right click -> Properties
Go to Compatibility tab
Check Override high DPI scaling behavior.
Scaling performed by: choose System

Hi Jeremy - i have the same problem. But if i change the settings, the ugs window didn’t change. I already reinstalled the jave. What version do you use? THX a lot,…
I leave this here since I had the same problem and this solution didnt worked for me. The problem was I was modifing the wrong properties, this was the solution. (step by step for those not familiar with windows)
Operating System: Windows 10 64
Laptop: Dell Inspiron 17 - 4K resolution
UGS zip file: ugs-Platform-app-2.0-Snapshot (night build)
Java zip: jre-8u251-windows-x64
- Open UGCS (it will look tiny - don’t worry)
- Open Windows Task Manager
a) press windows key,
b) write “Task Manager” (without quotes). Should appear as the first option
c) click to open the app - In Task Manager, first tab “Process”, under “Name” column, Find UGSPLATFORM in the running processes (in my case ugsplatform64) .
- Right-click it and select properties
- select “compatibility Tab”
- Click on “Override high DPI” scaling behavior.
- Check the box “Override high DPI scaling behavior”. This will allow you to select “System” under Scaling performed by
- Press Ok, and ok to exit
- Close and reopen UGS
