If you’re using a Raspberry Pi with a high-resolution monitor or TV, you may have run into the frustrating issue of tiny, unreadable text. Here’s a quick fix to make your desktop environment usable again:
1. Set Defaults for Large Screens
- Go to Menu > Preferences > Appearance Settings
- Click Defaults > For Large Screens > Set Defaults
This adjusts font sizes and UI elements for better readability.
2. Adjust the Screen Resolution
- Navigate to Menu > Preferences > Screen Configuration
- Go to Layout > Screens > [Your Screen] > Resolution > 1920×1080
- Then Layout > Apply to confirm changes
These two tweaks should make your Raspberry Pi setup much more comfortable on high-DPI displays.
