Solar panel Lettering

Hello,
Screenshot Solar.docx
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium and Instromet Weather station. I notice that yesterday in the solar panel is scrunched up. Can I change it? Hope I've done the attachment correctly!! Tony F

I wondered if you had a smaller display than the required minimum, as the resizing that Cumulus attempts to do can cause the text to do what yours is doing. But you don't have a smaller display...

Do you perhaps not have your DPI set to 100%? In the screen resolution settings, that is. That can also cause problems with the text. That solar display panel for Instromet stations is particularly affected because I've had to reposition things at run time to get them to fit.

Edit: If I change my scaling to 125%, I can reproduce what you're seeing:

I don't think I'll be able to do anything about that, sorry.

Steve, Thankyou. Have reduced scaling to 100% and all is now clear. Tony
