HMI Screen size

I'm running my AR3 from a laptop that doesn't support the current screen size of AR4 HMI.

I've had a go at adjusting it in the source code and recompiling the .py into a .exe, but I get errors (probably cause I don't really know what I'm doing).

Is it possible to have a .txt file "PC Settings" that has the screen size (and anything else that might be handy) in the AR4 root folder, that the AR4.exe just refers to when loading, allowing it easier for adjusting settings, for running on different pcs?

You have probably already looked at this but in the windows display setting under scale and layout make sure its on 100%. That's a great suggestion, I will see if its possible to resize through a config file. I did fail to use grid() and pack() in places I should have but I will look at updating as I can.

Yup, tried the resizing the screen but it only starts at 100% and scales up from there. Doesn't seem to be able to scale down.

Running windows 10, python 3.12.

Thanks for having a look to see if it's possible.

Or is it possible to provide the different ar4.exe in the common screen sizes below the default size?

Cheers
