Hi,
CONNECT Advisor seems to have the same problem with high DPI monitors as CONNECTION Client (the problem was discussed here).
Problem description
When CONNECT Advisor is opened on high DPI display, its content is incerdibly small and it's even hard to expand group and no way to read the content.
Comparison, normalized to approximately the same size of fonts used in dialogs title:
A question is: How can I increase text size (or scale) used in Advisor dialog?
With regards,
Jan
CONNECT Advisor has zoom-in/zoom-out functionality
there is a zoom-slider at the bottom right corner of the main dialog, where you can change the size of the displayed text.

Hi Nazeer,
thanks a lot for your anwer. I overlooked the slider, because usually the dialog is opened with bottom part hidden by something else ;-)
Unfortunately the slider does not work quite well:
[bug] A content is zoomed (enlarged), but not "groups titles". See this image with two zooms (100% and max. 150%):
The whole content, not only items in lists, should be enlarged.
[bug] Set zoom is not remembered. Every time CONNECT Advisor is started, the zoom is set to 100% and has to be modified manually.
[enhancement] 150% as max is too small value. 200% should be better. BTW On my Surface Book 13, Windows set automatically zoom to 200%, so it's not too big value.
[enhancement] Standard zoom shortcuts do not work (are not supported), but they are mostly standar in web browsers, Office etc.

Overlooked it! shame shame (just kidding).
Isn't in fun beta testing Bentley's latest stuff? They're wearing me out, just too old to switch platforms now.

Hi Nazeer Hussain Shaikh
any comments to my findings?
[bug] Set zoom is not remembered.
[Nazeer:] the user settings does have the functionality to save the current zoom value, if this is not working, probably a defect. either the settings are not getting saved or settings are not updated on the UI
[enhancement] 150% as max is too small value. 200% should be better.
[Nazeer:] Enhancement request is filed
[Nazeer:] These shortcuts are explicitly disabled, and Zoomin-out slider is provided
on high DPI display, its content is incerdibly small
[Nazeer:] defect has been filed
thanks for your comments!

Hmmm ... why? It's the standard feature of many software, not only "web based". It limits UX quality in my opinion, but it's not critical issue, just personal preference.
