Ribbon icons too small

Post by caps »

Most of the icons in the ribbon are tiny, way too hard to see. This is a windows 10 laptop.
I tried changing it in settings, as suggested here: https://forum.softmaker.com/viewtopic.php?t=18507 but I do not have the "Set Interface Size" Option in any settings screen that I could see.
This problem does not happen with my linux computers.
How do I fix it? Touch mode is NOT the solution, it did't fix some of the icons and it spread the ribbon across the entire screen.

That option is only available for Linux
In Windows you could go to "Windows Start Menu > Settings > Display > Make everything bigger" and then change the size of apps and text on the main display to 150% or more.

I do not want to make my entire computer bigger. I am already at 150%, Resizing above that makes things gigantic far too large for use even in softmaker, and it's ridiculous that the solution offered by a paid app is to magnify the entire computer.
There is no other way to enlarge ribbon icons?

Please verify that you are using Ribbon interface and not classic menu by these steps :

Tools > Options > Appearance > User Interface > Select any of the top 3 ribbon options > OK > OK

OR

File | Options > Appearance > User Interface > Select any of the top 3 ribbon options > OK > OK

If the issue still exists please share a screenshot of the app showing small Ribbon icons.

Thanks

Hey, I am having the same issue with the interface. Here is a https://imgur.com/a/9341UPB screenshot.
150% Windows scale with 120% text scale. The user is having low-vision so it is critical to have easily readable ribbon panel.

Checking the status of this issue. Is there any updates on this from the development team? Our subscription for Office 364 is ending soon so we are considering moving on to the new platform and accessibility is one of the top features we need.

Here's what worked for me: I right-clicked the toolbar and then clicked the first option, Minimized Ribbon. Everything is now back to normal.
