Screen size and Traktor Pro 3 visibility - Macbook Pro 15" and 17"

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi,

I've been using a Macbook Pro 2011 15" for a year or two, and got used to the size of interface and its controls as rendered on this 15" screen. (I know that the IN/OUT buttons don't appear by default, as one of the quirks for the 15" screen.)

I've just upgraded to a 2012 Macbook Pro 17" - Traktor Pro 3 looks great (better resolution) but the actual words/dials/information are all rendered SMALLER on the 17" screen. You do get all the functionality visible (including those IN/OUT buttons) but it's just harder to see from a distance (particularly for the older DJ such as myself!).

Is there any way to increase the size of the display output so that I get the benefit of the larger screen, please? I thought that by upgrading to the 17" I'd just get an enlarged interface, rather than everything a bit smaller (albeit a little sharper in detail).

I've looked in Settings but haven't been successful, yet.

Hope this question makes sense and that someone has a solution.

Thanks in advance.

That's what I feared. Thanks for that. Thank goodness TVs don't do the same thing - otherwise Match of The Day on these 65" TVs would have incredibly tiny football players on them!

You have to manage the screen resolution that your OS is using. My guess is that the 17" screen uses a higher resolution, hence the smaller display elements. The only thing you can directly scale in Traktor is the size of the browser font and lines.
