[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 1095817, member: 27204"] Those are aMPed skin settings, and default is supposed to be EPG 10 lines and 15 pt font. Sometimes you have to reapply them using aMPedConfig, especially if you change skins within MP. :( Yeah, Config tools are not DPI aware :( - but then many other apps aren't either. Drives me nujts too as I can barely read text anymore on larger PC screen. I usually adjust Windows desktop settings to use larger fonts as that has fewer issues than DPI scaling, but still isn't perfect. :rolleyes: OK good, so that rules out that option.
