On high DPI screens, the text in the studio script editor is rather blurry and seems to be slightly compressed vertically which distorts the characters and causes eye strains. Below is a screenshot.

I believe that the resolution problem may be on your end as it’s looking fine on my end. I have a 1080p monitor currently, maybe your resolution is off?

This is due to Windows scaling. Until Roblox officially supports proper high-DPI scaling, you basically need to run at 100%, 200%, or 400% scaling.
So I just opened up Studio again recently and had to go through the rigmarole of overriding the high-DPI scaling as I usually do after every update. Except this time, Studio still isn’t scaling properly. The menus are huge, taking up screen space that they really don’t need to. I’ve tried setting the high DPI override to Application, System and System (Enhanced), all with no effect.

For about a few years now, I have to go to the .exe of Studio and set its “Override high DPI scaling behavior” to “Application” , otherwise it would look oversized and blurry. I believe this behavior only occurs in Windows 10, as I didn’t encounter this back in Windows 7 about two years ago.
While setting the DPI override to “Application” has worked, this setting resets every time Roblox Studio updates, making it a hassle to set it every time it finishes updating. I’ve noticed that the upscalin…
This has been posted about before but I feel like a modern post sufficiently explaining this would be helpful.
I have a high-res monitor and can’t use studio at native resolution (the text & buttons are tiny). The solution is to run windows at 150% scaling. All of my other programs act as expected with this.
But not studio. When you scale a program (ex: run windows scaling at 200% instead of 100%) the program uses the scaling value and multiplies it by the font size, images, svgs, etc… and the…

I checked high DPI scaling override and now the text is crystal clear again, but the icons are TINY. How do you fix that?

after 1.5 years later, this is still not resolved. I have a screen with 2736x1924 and when I launch studio, the script editor is very blurry along with the other UI elements. However, using it on my bigger 1920x1080 monitor, things don’t look as blurry.
