Additional Information
Workaround:
As an unofficial / unsupported workaround, you can make a change on your workstations Java Runtime Environment Setting. In the RunTime Parameters you can add the following line for the specific Java version which launches the Applications Manager client: -Java Runtime Environment Settings > Runtime Parameters:
"-Dsun.java2d.dpiaware=false"
This change will force the Applications Manager GUI to better scale with the Windows resolution and scaling settings.
In 9.3 or above: This is not officially supported.
With this in mind, you can add the below variable in the client.properties which is located in the same directory as the user's RunClient.jar:
runOptions=-Dappworx.fontSize=n
where n represents a percent.
We recommend have a value no more than 150 as entering a value higher than 150, you may start seeing some text being cut off as the spacing and icon sizes do not change. Please test this on a test system.
