Menus are extremely small in opentoonz for me.  I have a high resolution screen, and this is what it looks like when I have the screen at the recommended 3840 x 2160 size:

the menus are so tiny they are unreadable! and frame numbers on the left overlap with each other.  Since there's nothing to change this in "preferences," I tried downgrading my screen resolution to 1280 x 720, but it only does this:

certain parts of the screen are enormous while others are normal sized.  I tried changing the menu and title bar sizes individually in my computer's display settings, but that doesn't affect this particular program for some reason.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Does anyone know how to fix it?

OpenToonz is not very retina screen friendly. Settings can be changed manually in the theme files, but it will take some LESS and CSS knowledge, and a font size change will mean changes to many other settings as well.

For example, in the YOURNAME.env file the following parameters may be changed (before starting Toonz):
SoftwareCurrentFont "Open Sans"
SoftwareCurrentFontSize "14"
SoftwareCurrentFontSize_StyleName "11"
SoftwareCurrentFontWeightIsBold "No"

This will increase the size of many UI elements' fonts, but it still required changes in the theme files to accommodate these changes properly.

Agreed - and it's even worse with limited screen size! I've found that it works quite well to double click on the title bar, maximiae the menu in question, deal with it, then double click to shrink it back again.

I'm having a similar problem after updating to 1.1.3, but everything is zoomed in.  I'm running it off of a small laptop screen, so that might be the problem.  Do you know how to go back to a previous update?
