How to increase text size in SoapUI
Select File > Preferences (or hit Ctrl + Alt + P) from menu and then pick Editor Settings group. Hit Select Font... next to Edtor Font and choose a different size/font face.
Hit OK to confirm your changes. Any already opened editor window must be closed and then reopened in order to above mentioned changes to be applied.
Fixed the issue, I tried to right click on desktop shortcut which I have one for SoapUI, and select Properties, select compatibility tab, since I have Windows 8.1. In drop down it shows "Compatibility Mode" as only Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8. By default it use to be on Windows 8 selected before the small Menu, Icon image, font size was showing but I changed it to Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and also checked "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings", clicked Apply and done restart your SoapUI if its already opened from that same shortcut of desktop and done; It worked for me. No need to change Screen resolution for this SoapUI etc unless if you have different purpose for it. Please let me know if this worked for you all. Thanks
Configure Compatibility Mode of SoapUI in Properties
Sample Screen shot of after making changes
This worked for me:
- Right Click on Soap UI v 5.3.0 shortcut.
- Select Compatibility tab.
- Tick Checkbox - Override high DPI scaling behaviour. Scaling Performed by:
- Select System from dropdown.
- Click Ok.
I had the same problem using a high resolution - all the text was tiny in SoapUI. However, just changing the font doesn't solve the problem completely; it solves the problem for text in the editor, but the menu text was still tiny.
Here's what I did instead of changing the font...
Preferences -> UI Settings -> Use Native Look and Feel
I'm using Windows 8.1 with 2560 x 1440 resolution on a 28" Samsung monitor, and the default Display scaling settings in Windows. After making the change above, without changing any of the Font settings, now the the menu text and icons, as well as the editor text are all normal size on my high resolution monitor. It also looks fine when I take my laptop off the docking station and run SoapUI on the laptop's smaller screen.
I'm using SoapUI 5.2.1. Not sure if the option I used existed in the version the OP was asking about, but hopefully this helps others who land here from Google with the same issue.
