Unreadable text - could it be my 5k + 4k + 1080p setup?
Posted: 29 Jul 2026 06:00
I can't read the text on some screens any more. I just noticed it - I have a new 5k monitor with a 4k and a 1080p all running at the same time - not sure if that's related. I tried complete uninstall and fresh download + reinstall of 32-bit and 64-bit; I tried many compatibility settings, I tried zooming the text in the interface and also changing the font size manually in the configuration - it's always got this problem - it seems like the box to hold the text is too narrow and it wraps instead of flowing across. Any ideas anyone? I first bought XYplorer in 2015 - been using it a long time!! 
I'm running XYPlorer: 64-bit Version 28.30.1600, Windows 11, Monitor 3 (main display) is a 5k LG Ultragear+ (5120x2160) Scale 100%, I usually keep Accessibility Scale at 125%, but I also tried it at 100% and tested with a reboot but no success), Monitor 1 is a built-in 4k (desktop extended, 3840x2400) scale 200%, Monitor 2 is 1080p (1920x1200) desktop extended scaled at 100%.
