Cakewalk UI very small

[Zion Vec]

Can someone help me fix this?? Every time I open up Cakewalk the Ui is unusually small and I can barely see the buttons IDK what I did but if someone know how to fix this it would help me out a lot. Thank You.

Check your Windows settings. You cannot change the size of the UI in this version of Cakewalk.

Welcome Zion Vec to the forum!!!  What are your display settings?  Do other programs have icons that are too small?

Looks like your using a high resolution monitor on a small screen.  Good for games but not so much DAWs.

For Windows 11, right-click the desktop and select Display settings

Select the monitor your using if you have more than one.

Scroll down to Scale & Layout > Scale
  Set scale to 100% or the recommended %
  Click on the Scale section to open
  Click on the Text size section to open
  Reset Text size to 100-120% using the slider

Go back to Display settings

Go to Display resolution and set it to 1920x1080 or whatever works best for your screen size.

I had the same problem and found the fix. I am posting it here to help others in the same boat.

While the cakewalk software is closed, right click on the program's icon on the desktop, select properties, compatibility, change high DPI settings, down select high DPI scaling override, and set it to "system enhanced" not "Application". restart cakewalk and it should be fine.
