When you say maptool root directory, do you mean .maptool? Because if so, where should I put the default.theme, just anywhere or a particular folder?

I did, and while it affects other apps Maptool is totally unaffected.JamzTheMan wrote:Silly question but did you tell Windows to change the size of apps/text/etc under display options?
I've put the file in the folder, but it doesn't seem to have any effect on Maptool.aliasmask wrote: Where the .jar file is so wherever you installed it.

Re: Maptool resolution issue
Did you put the .manifest files in same dir as the jar files? Because that's not where it goes...
You have to put it in the same directory that java.exe and javaw.exe are located. If this is an older version, it's going to be in your program files dir. If it's the Dev version or mine, it's in the jwrapper dir. (look at the bottom of the Launcher and it should list the path for java)

Re: Maptool resolution issue
The rest of your post suggest that should be "not where it goes." Is that correct? Or am I just more easily confused than usual today?JamzTheMan wrote:Did you put the .manifest files in same dir as the jar files? Because that's now where it goes...

Re: Maptool resolution issue
Sorry, posted from my phone and missed that. Corrected and you are correct, meant "not". Of course you may be talking about the theme file in which case ignore me...

Yes, I tried that previously and did not notice a change. I'm being told by my friends that it might be a Win10 issue, and if that's the case I'm out of luck.JamzTheMan wrote:Did you put the .manifest files in same dir as the jar files? Because that's not where it goes...

Re: Maptool resolution issue
I think there's something going on that's being left out or that is not obviously the problem. If you want me to look at your system via a VT or some other method I would be willing. You'll have to catch me at the right moment though. Let me know if you're interested.

Re: Maptool resolution issue
I'm curious too. Maybe a screenshot? Either way I would've thought it'd be an easy fix with tinylaf and custom default.theme.

This one appears as Maptool should - when I used the Window snip feature. But the next one, that I took with a rectangular snip, reflects the resolution I'm having trouble with.
This leads me to wonder if the issue is actually in the tv itself - perhaps a firmware problem?
I would be down for that - I'm just a casual windows user with techie friends, so while I have attempted everything so far, I can't promise I've done it correctly.aliasmask wrote:I think there's something going on that's being left out or that is not obviously the problem.

EDIT: Now I'm definitely worried if it is my tv-monitor, because looking at the snips I have on my computer, and the way they're appearing as attachments are wildly different. The snips appear much higher resolution and larger than they should. The second snip especially - even on the snip file I have it appears pixilated, but here it does not.
I'm going to start looking around for replacement monitors, just in case because while Maptool is only one app that it appears to have issue with, I don't feel I can trust a tv-monitor that I'm getting inconsistent results with.
Re: Maptool resolution issue
Ah, maybe you're not using the native resolution of the tv. That will make it look funky. I use a tv for my monitor as well and it supports 1920x1080, but some may not. Try 1280x720.
Yes, your clips look normal.

Re: Maptool resolution issue
Is it just me or do those clips look the same? I see no difference? Maybe a visit to the eye doctor?

Re: Maptool resolution issue
Yeah, that is what prompted the EDIT added to the posts. I'm pretty sure the issue is actually with the tv itself - as viewing the jpgs shows a lot smaller text and pixelization than those screenshots do. I've noticed that in other ways but didn't think it relevant. Sorry for wasting everyone's time, but thank you for trying to help.
