Often for novice users, the question arises: how to reduce the screen scale? This may be due to both the operating system itself and its various applications. In the first case, it is necessary to perform some manipulations, and in applications, slightly different ones will be needed. Most users successfully apply this, but do not always know all the possible ways to solve such a problem.
In the operating system
There are two ways to scale the image on the desktop of the operating system . The first one is that the monitor settings are adjusted . Not a very convenient solution, because it requires certain knowledge and skill. Not every user has such a wealth of experience that makes it easy to solve this problem. It is much easier to perform such a procedure as reducing the scale of the screen using the context menu. Similarly, you can zoom in. There are the following restrictions: the maximum is the highest screen resolution, and the minimum is 640 x 480 pixels (the minimum allowable mode of VGA adapters). Now let's figure out how to reduce the scale of the screen. To do this, call the context menu at any unallocated point on the desktop . To do this, just press the appropriate key or right-click. In the list that opens, select "Screen Resolution". A window will open in which a drop-down list with a slider will be present. By moving the slider down, you can decrease the resolution. For the changes to take effect, you need to click "OK". And to increase it is enough to drag the slider up and save the settings change in the previously described way.
In various applications
Now there are many applications that are successfully used while working in Windows operating systems. It is this diversity that has led to the fact that this platform is by far the most common in the world. Among them, there are many browsers, text editors, graphic packages. Despite this diversity, the scaling principles in each of them are absolutely identical. For example, holding the special key “Ctrl” and rotating the mouse wheel in one direction, you can enlarge the picture. But if you change direction, the image will become smaller. The second combination consists in using the same keys “Ctrl” and “+” (to enlarge) or “-” (to reduce the picture). Another way is to use the scale slider. It is located in the lower right corner of the screen. By dragging it with the right mouse button, you can perform the same actions. But the easiest to use is a combination that includes a mouse wheel and "Ctrl". Simplicity and accessibility are its main advantages.
Conclusion
Throughout this article, various techniques have been described on how to enlarge and how to reduce the scale of the screen. Moreover, methods are indicated both for the operating system itself and for most applications. Despite the fact that the software for this platform is quite diverse, the scaling principles in it are identical. And it greatly simplifies the work process. Using the recommendations given in this material, you can significantly increase productivity.
