STM32CubeIDE and UHD/4k screen

[Mick P. F.]

Hello,

I know that these questions are far too easy for this forum, but a few days ago I destroyed all of the IDE settings several times when I tried to change these settings.

First of all, the platform and environment used: Ubuntu Linux 20.04.2 and the current version of STM32Cube (IDE, MX, Monitor etc.).

1. In the attached file "Invisible_Text.png" you can see the light background so that the text cannot be seen. I can't find this context in "Window -> Preferences -> General -> Appearance -> Colors and Fonts". This background color cannot be found there either. How/where can I change it?
2. A few days ago I received a new monitor with UHD/4K resolution. The icons in the toolbar are too small (see appendix, file "Small_Icons.png"). I can change the screen resolution to FullHD, but then everything looks strange. I can't change the size of the icons. Is it really not possible?

Thanks in advance,

Michael

The UHD/4K support has been a recurrent complaint, certainly in CubeMX it was a Java side nightmare. ie You want Platform Independence, you get limited/generic control of the UI space.

Using Keil and VS Code on Windows with a 4K display, no issues there.

ST has a pretty low bar on GUI, QA and usability issues, and they often fail to clear even that. Luckily the HW is pretty solid.

Hello Tesla,

it was my second (and regrettably my last) chow :face_with_tears_of_joy: I loved him so much!

But to my problems: I understand the problem with the adapting software for 4k displays, but what is about the color problem? I had this problem with the "old" screen also.

Kind Regards,

Michael
