Answer
If you are using a Windows device with an ultra-high resolution screen (e.g Microsoft Surface) or monitor you may experience display issues with Lightning Payroll, we have found the following solution to be quite helpful:
- Right click on the Lightning Payroll shortcut on your desktop.
- Select Properties.
- Go to the Compatibility tab.
- Click Change high DPI settings.
- Tick Override high DPI scaling behaviour and then select System (Enhanced) below.
- Click OK and then click Apply.
This solution will allow Lightning Payroll to be displayed correctly without having to adjust your resolution and will not affect any other programs.
Adjusting The Display Scale Inside Lightning Payroll
Lightning Payroll also has its own display scale setting, which helps when text and buttons appear too large or too small on your screen. Go to Settings >> Display/Time Settings and choose a percentage from Display scale. Smaller percentages fit more on screen.
You can choose any scale between 75% and 200%. Press Ctrl+0 (or Command+0 on a Mac) to reset it to 100%. The new scale only takes effect once you close Lightning Payroll and open it again.
