Screen Resolution and Item Sizes

This page will explain how to optimize your screen resolution and display settings to work with TRAKnet.

Item Size Settings

The Item Size in Windows can be changed to make text and icons larger or smaller based on user preference. However, TRAKnet is optimized to work with item sizes at their default 100% size. Any size larger than this can cause issues within the program, such as text running out of buttons or on rare occasions, entire screens not working as intended. For instructions on how to change your item size to 100%, see below.

Windows 7/8/8.1
