I got onto BI today and the window showing the clips on the right was extremely small. So small, I could barely see the letters in the clips. Is there a way to adjust this? I adjusted the display settings in the Control Panel, but it didn't help.

Below the clip scroll bar is a + and - sign in magnifying glasses. Try clicking on the + sign and see if it goes back to normal.

That makes the text diappear and you can't drag the clip box to make it bigger. Any other ideas?

I even uninstalled and reinstalled after restarting multiple times.

Did you get to the bottom of this?
I changed my resolution to 4k and it made everything tiny. The workaround for this was to change the compatibility settings used when opening the app to "Override high DPI scaling behaviour. Scaling performed by System" which has helped to make things readable again.

In Windows:
If you change the resolution of your computer everything in the BI window will get smaller as it has a fixed size.

To get around this you would need to:
With Blue Iris closed
Right click on the shortcut/icon you use to start BI
Properties
Compatibility tab
Display Scaling
Check the box labelled "Override high DPI scaling behaviour."
Select Scaling performed by System from the drop-down.
Apply
Open BI again

1 No display scaling selected.jpg 2 right click the icon and select properties.jpg 3 check the override box and click ok.jpg 4 re-open blueiris and it is readable again.jpg

The latest BI5 update (5.0.0.56 x64) fixes the right-side date-picker pop-up which had rolled off the screen. Now the date calendar pop-up renders correctly regardless of being on the left or right. On the other hand, perhaps the fix appeared only because of the display change which xdq had recommended.
