    Hey

    I just got my M11x I am just wondering what the default text/icon size is on the M11x - something happened and it went up to Medium - 125%, which seems way too big, but when I put it down to Smaller - 100%, it just seems so tiny, and smaller than it was when I got my M11x.
    Does the M11x have a different default to those, and if so, how do I change it? I only see 100 and 125% here in 'Display'

    Thanks

    On the same screen as you changed the size between 125% and 100%, on the left side there is the option "Set custom text size (dpi)", which provides the ability to change it to any whole percentage between 100% and 500%.

    If you want to change the size of icons, just make sure your Focus is on the desktop (click a blank spot on desktop) hold CTRL key and move your mouse wheel up/down to change sizes, only works for the icons though, text follow previous post.
