Savings goal font size

glenn

I am a big user of the savings goal feature. However, after making some screen changes to the presentation of quicken screens under my windows 11 system, the boxes and font size of the savings goal under the planning tab are no longer useful.  They have a larger font than all other screens and the control features (edit, withdraw, etc.) are no longer in the box.  I can't edit the savings goal which is an issue.  As I stated in the past, the boxes are really useless. A simple list like the budget screen would be much more useful.

Hello @glenn,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community and telling us about your issue, though I apologize that you are experiencing this.

If you don't mind, could you please provide a screenshot of what you're seeing in savings goals? If needed, please refer to this Community FAQ for instructions on how to attach a screenshot. Alternatively, you can also drag and drop screenshots to your response if you are not given the option to add attachments.

Thank you!

This is the savings goal screen.  As you can see, except for the savings goal boxes the other fonts are smaller.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Font size problems? Display issues? (Windows)

If you are using a version of Quicken at the Quicken 2019 US R 19.44 patch level or newer and you have previously made the following Compatibility change, please undo the change.
Users of other Quicken versions please try the following:

• Close Quicken !!! (This process won't work while Quicken is running!)
• Check the Compatibility tab settings in your Quicken Desktop program icon:
• In the Windows Start Menu right-click the Quicken icon. Select "Open File Location". This brings up a Windows File Explorer window. Right-click the highlighted Quicken shortcut line item.
  or
• Go to the traditional Windows Desktop and right-click the Quicken program icon.
  or
• Use Windows File Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Quicken\ and right-click qw.exe

• Now click Properties.
• Select the Compatibility tab.
• Uncheck all settings.
• Windows 7, 8.1: Check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings". 
  Windows 10, 11: Click "Change high DPI settings".  Check "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" and select "Application"  (also try the other available options repeating the entire procedure!). Click OK.
• Be sure to uncheck the "Run this program in compatibility mode for [older Windows version]" setting.
• Click the "Change settings for all users" button.
• Click Apply and exit.

• Reboot Windows.

• Now start Quicken and see if that makes a difference.

Some additional tuning suggestions:

• Try this workaround for 4k monitors
  https://www.quicken.com/support/work-around-display-issues-high-resolution-monitors
• System requirements: 1024x768 or higher screen resolution, 1280x1024 minimum for Large Fonts settings
• Unless absolutely required, try not to use "View / Use large fonts"
• Try setting the bank account registers to use a different font style or size: go to Edit / Preferences / Register, click the Fonts button and try different fonts.
• Try adjusting the bank account registers' row height: go to Edit / Preferences / Register, choose among the available Row Height choices: Compact, Comfortable or Standard
• If all else fails, try changing Windows Control Panel / Display options for "Make text and other items … smaller or larger" to use a different scaling level, but try not to exceed 125%
• Try using the Windows Magnifier. Press the Windows logo key and the = key to open Magnifier. Customize Magnifier to increment Zoom in 25% intervals.
