How To | Allow Windows To Rescale unIFY Control Panel

Learn how to configure your Windows settings to allow your unIFY Control Panel to rescale for use on smaller screens.

Updated at June 28th, 2023

Procedure


By default, the unIFY Control Panel application controls its own scaling and scales to a minimum size that often exceeds the borders of smaller device screens. In order to change this so that the Windows system controls scaling and can further reduce the size of the unIFY Control Panel window you simply need to adjust the scaling properties for the application.

Follow these steps to make the change:

In File Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Attero Tech\unIFY Control Panel

 
 

Locate the unIFY Control Panel executable

 
 

Right-click on the executable and select ‘Properties’ from the context menu

 
 

In the Properties window, navigate to the ‘Compatibility’ tab

 
 

On the Compatibility tab, click the ‘Change high DPI settings’ button

 
 

In the new window, locate the ‘High DPI Scaling Override’ section

 
 

Check the box next to ‘Override high DPI scaling behavior’

 
 

Select ‘System’ in the drop-down menu, and then apply the changes in both windows

 
 

The next time the unIFY Control Panel application is launched, the Windows system will take over control of the scaling behavior and the application window should resize to fit the size of your device’s screen.

Note

Because the application was not designed to accommodate resolutions smaller than the minimum scale set by the application, the application’s GUI will likely appear a little out-of-focus when the scaling is controlled by the Windows system and set to smaller scales.
