On Windows with display resolution greater than 1920x1080, the Lumerical CAD/GUI will have issues with the font size and icon images.
The guidelines shown in this page outlines the process on setting Lumerical's graphical interface to override the hidh resolution (dpi) settings set by Windows.
Override Windows DPI scaling
- Open a Windows explorer and navigate to:
"C:\Program Files\Lumerical\[[verpath]]\bin"
- "Right Click" on the GUI's executable. e.g. "interconnect.exe"
- Click on "Properties".
- Navigate to the "Compatibility" tab and click on "Change high DPI settings".
- Check the box for "Program DPI" and "High DPI scaling override"
- Click OK to save and apply your settings for this CAD/GUI's executable.
- Do the same to the other Lumerical CAD/GUI that you are using e.g. "fdtd-olutions.exe", "mode-olutions.exe" and "device.exe".
