Using Nexus
Interface size and 4K
How Nexus scales itself per monitor, and how to make it bigger or smaller.
Nexus sizes itself automatically for each monitor, so it looks right on a 1080p laptop and a 4K desktop alike.
How the automatic size works
Nexus uses the larger of two things:
- your Windows display scaling for that monitor, and
- the monitor's resolution. The layout targets a 1440-pixel-tall screen, so a 4K monitor left at 100% scaling gets a 150% interface instead of a tiny one.
Fonts and icons are rendered at that final size, so text stays sharp at every scale. Moving the window to another monitor, or changing the resolution, rescales it.
Make it bigger or smaller
Open Settings › Behaviour › Interface size and choose 80%, 90%, 100%, 110%, 125% or 150%. This adjusts on top of the automatic size; 100% keeps the automatic size. The setting shows the automatic scale for your current monitor.
Other display options
- Accent colour: blue, cyan, green, orange or red, all flat.
- Reduce motion: turns off interface animations.
