Settings for the adaptability of IDEA font size and icon between two different screens with different size and resolution

Answered

    Now, I have an extended display screen for my laptop;but the size of laptop built-in screen  is 13.3 inch and it's resolution is 1440x900,  the size of extended display screen  is 27 inch and it's resolution is 3840x2160。

    I adjust a comfortable font and spacing for my IntelliJ IDEA on the built-in screen; then connect the extended display screen and drag the IDEA application to extended screen; everything of IDEA seems smaller。

   How can I get settings for the adaptability of IDEA font size and icon between two different screens with different size and resolution? Thanks.

Hello,

Currently, we don't support changing IDE size depending on the monitor, but you can do it manually
1. Press `Shift+Shift` and type “Zoom IDE”

2. Press `Alt+Enter` to assign a shortcut %my_shortcut% to this action

3. Press %my_shortcut% and select larger or smaller zoom depending on what monitor is the current

 

Note: you may also record a macro ("Edit | Macros | Start macro recording"), and include a certain tool window layout ("Window| Layouts…") to this macro. Name the macro “small monitor”/"large monitor" and trigger it with a single button or the shortcut.
