Why are the tiles so big?

[Colin Kendall]

I recently got a new desktop computer, and installed Zyzzyva on it.

It works fine, except for one thing: The tiles that it shows you to make words from are offputtingly HUGE!

I've tried reducing the font size of every item in Tools->Preferences->Fonts, but nothing seems to make the tiles any smaller?

Is there any fix for this?

Cheers,

Colin

Which CZ version please?

I had the same problem on one of my computers. I think it depends on your screen resolution. However, you are not limited to the images that Zyzzyva provides. You can copy your own folder of tile images (in *.png format) to the folder:

  C:\Program Files (x86)\CollinsZyzzyva-5.1.1\data\tiles\ 

I'm not sure what the folder is for Mac/Linux.

Place the images in a folder of your choosing under the \tiles folder, then in the Zyzzyva settings under Quiz settings select the new tiles.  

I've attached a zip file of the tiles that I use. I found the images online. They were still a bit big so I bulk-resized them to a size I liked.

Thanks very much for your help; I'll try what you suggest shortly.

Thanks, I've installed the tiles you sent. But they are still a bit big; how did you "bulk-resize" them?

I could make them smaller, one at a time, using Paint; but there's got to be an easier way.

Cheers,

Colin

Sorry, I think I sent you the original images (128 pixels x 128 pixels).

The attached ones are 64 pixels x 64 pixels.

Do you two with the tile size problem have 4k monitors?  Can you please report current resolution.

I don't have a 4K monitor and I run Zyzzyva with those 64x64 tile images on 4 different computers.. it all depends where I am (work laptop, home gaming desktop, one of two personal laptops) so there are various resolutions.

Sorry, I don't know how to tell whether my monitor is a 4K monitor.
