Fredo's plugin toolbar is extremely tiny. Is there a quick fix?

Hey there,

is it a common thing that the plugin toolbar of Fredo’s plugins (such as Round Corner) is as small as in this screenshot? Might be related to Retina display but I would be surprised if I’m the first person to discover this…

Any ideas for a quick fix?

Thanks in advance,
Seltsam

This is an example of SketchUp’s limited support of high-dpi displays and has been known for some time. Trimble made a few small steps toward better support in 2016, but there is still a long way to go. Fredo added a setting for Retina in his options that enlarges the size of some of the graphics, but the text is still to small to read. There is no other workaround except scaling up the entire display (which kind of defeats the point of having Retina!).

Thank you very much, Mr. Baumgartner! Being a newbie it’s always good to hear that not every malfunction is related to ones own dumbness.

So I’m going to print myself a nice magnifying glass holder for the screen and wait for updates to come.

Cheers,

Its 2024 and this still exists - any fixes anyone?

Which version of SketchUp?

24.0.554
It seems better now - the font is larger (I didn’t do anything). How does it work?

Can you check the Default Parameters of LibFredo6.

Go to menu Window > LibFredo6 Settings… > Default Parameters…

At the top of the dialog, there is a check box to force scaling. Just make sure it is unchecked, or, if cheked, that you enter a correct scale factor.
