OK, @stevebaer the icons now look better when the type scaling is at 125%, thanks. Now I have something different happening - same Win 10 laptop, the window border color no longer responds and is white (actually 240,240,240)… On my Win 8 machine, it works as expected… Particularly noticeable if you have a dark background/toolbar color… Anyone else on Win 10 see that?
I see it. Working on a fix
I just pushed a fix for this so you should see this fixed in the next WIP

Hi @stevebaer,
The tab width is better. Would it be possible to increase the height by 25%? I notice some of the images in the tabs are being truncated.
Thanks,
Dan
So, Steve. You know how us old guys know absolutely everything about everything. I’m wondering: isn’t WPF supposed to allow developers to work to physical dimensions and automatically take care of the details for any given display? Can WPF forms and Windows forms coexist in the same application? Could Rhino migrate one form at a time? Am I nuts?
I can’t be the judge on if you are nuts or not 
We are already using WPF in some elements of Rhino’s UI (Eto uses WPF as it’s user interface API on Windows). Switching the toolbars over to WPF would be a rather large project and it wouldn’t ‘automatically’ solve this issue.
I understand. I meant that AFTER you did all the non-automatic work of conversion, WPF would automatically take care of making the UI objects the designed physical size no matter what the display resolution. Is that right?
In the context of toolbar code where everything is custom, WPF doesn’t really help respect to automatically resizing things.
The tab height should be slightly larger in the next WIP
Thanks
I’ve given this a few months to try to get used to the smaller tabs, but I find that it’s slowing the workflow down by having to be more precise with the mouse movement to hone in on the small tab. My only option is to display the tab with “image and text” to force a larger tab surface area. I tried increasing the overall Windows experience to 125% but that just makes everything too big.
Any chance the tabs could get another slight size increase? I think if the height of the toolbar tabs was the same as the height of the docked tabs it might be enough to make a difference. Also, the docked pane tabs are too narrow. The images are truncated due to the narrow size,
Thanks,
Dan
I agree. +1. This area just looks ‘unfinished & sloppy,’ so it doesn’t match the excellent quality of the app everywhere else.
Dan - Slightly OT but I’ll ask the question anyway - What software do you use for marking up those screen grabs? They work really well!
SnagIt.
It’s a great program and it’s cheap. $50 US. Not a day goes by that I don’t use it. Jing is a free tool they offer that works great too, but without the extensive mark-up abilities.
I just got a 4K monitor delivered to see how these tabs look. I might need to find a magnifying glass too!!
I will report back soon.
Dan
Thanks Dan. Added to my To Purchase pile for the new PC
Yeah, still too small. I’m scaled up to 150% as recommended.
Sure wish we could get control of the tab sizes back like V5. I can get V5 just right because I can control the button and tab size. If the desire is to keep all tabs the same size, then maybe tie them into one control.
Sorry I keep going on about this, but the current implementation does not seem like a step in the right direction.
Dan
It doesn’t bother me; I’ll keep making fine tuning adjustments to try and get this right.
On the plus side, the display with the 4K monitor is beautiful.
Have a good weekend.
Dan
