TR App UI/Text Scaling Fix

I have a 32" 4k monitor that i use at 100% windows scaling which is perfectly fine when sitting close at my desk, on the bike i am a little further away so it made reading the text for the workout time stamps at the bottom and time in upper right corner and some other UI elements very difficult and the app was hard to use from the bike with a remote mouse phone app.

I couldn’t find a setting for this issue in TR (the workout text size option only changes workout text not UI) and didn’t want to change Windows UI scaling every time I open TR and wanted to scale the TR app independently

I am sharing a fix i found after searching online following this guide i have been able to set the scaling to 300% and make it much more readable on the bike. Reddit - The heart of the internet

TLDR: (enter custom scaling as force-device-scale-factor at the end of step 3, below sets to 300%)

1 Go to the shortcut on your desktop and right-click it.
2Choose Properties from the menu.
3 Go to the Target section and add the text below to the end of the parameter: /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=3
4 Save the changes by clicking Apply and OK.

Scaling @ 100%

Scaling @ 300%

I’m new to TR and couldn’t find a similar post on the forums, sorry if this is known already
