[Nomad (Win10)] Program text size does not scale up on high resolution monitor

I recently purchased a new Windows 10 laptop with a 3840x2160 screen to use as a console-side backup and visualizer, but the program text size in Nomad is so tiny at this resolution that it is unusable.  I cannot find any setting within the program to adjust the text size, and it is unaffected by changing the Windows display scaling settings.  Changing my laptop's display resolution to work around this issue is not an option.

4K monitors are current state-of-the-art, and being unable to use Nomad on them is a huge handicap.  Are there any plans to address this shortcoming?

Thanks for any help or insight into this issue.

  • In case anyone runs across this thread in a search, I have found a passable workaround to this issue until proper scaling is implemented in Nomad for 4K screens.

    Windows 10 settings > system > display > the top item is a slider labeled "change the size of text, apps, and other items". Moving it to maximum (350%) enlarges the entire GUI together. Desktop icons, the start bar, all other applications, etc. will also get zoomed in this mode, making their text oversized, but it's easier to go back and forth on this setting than using screen resolution.
