    • Font size in register labels

    Quicken Windows Other Member
    edited March 16 in Registers & Transactions (Windows)

    I would like to make the account names / labels in the register (Banking etc), and the headings across the top (File Edit, Update, References etc.) larger.

    I can increase the font size of the date screens (Edit>Preferences>Register>Fonts) but I cannot see how to increase the labels.

    I am using Windows 11, and have tried changing the Text Size settings, but it does not affect the labels.

    Help will be appreciated!

      Just wondering …
      could this be a problem caused by using hi-res display monitors or more than one monitor?

      Font size problems? Display issues? (Windows)

      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.
        Users with high resolution monitors, 3840x2160 with 225% scaling, try "System (Enhanced)"
        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.
