I don't know what's up with some browser updates making the browser interface to big. It seems like they assume everyone has the latest high resolution monitors, you know, the ones the size of a wall in your house. Or am I thinking TVs? :-) I had that problem with Opera.
Then it was Firefox.
Then it was Opera again after an update screwed everything up.
The method I used previously did not work this time so I posted a message on the Opera forum. The reply I got suggested to do with with the Opera properties shortcut. To append the following to the “Target” field in the shortcut properties.
/high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1
I wanted to see if this would work on Chrome. It did and here's what to do.
First you need to go to the shortcut properties.
If Chrome is pinned to taskbar. Right-click on icon in taskbar. And right-click on the words Google Chrome, the first instance right above “Unpin from taskbar”. Click on “Properties”.
If it's on the desktop. Just right-click and go to properties.
If it's pinned to Start. Right-click, click on More then click on “Open file location”. This opens the Start menu icons and not the program folder. Find the Chrome icon and right-click and go into properties.
Now on the “Shortcut” tab. Where it says “Target:”. Click at the end of the quotation marks, put a space and type in or copy and paste from here:
/high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1
So the entire string should look like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1
Now when you use that shortcut to start your browser everything should be looking normal. What I call normal, anyway. :-)
