Hi!
I've updated Scid vs. PC to 4.27 version.
I changed my two monitors last month and the new ones are 4k. My system is Arch + GNome 50 with Wayland + NVIDIA Geforce RTX 5060 Ti
Both monitors are scaled to 150% because readability.

The Scid vs, PC GUI looks like this:
GUI

The board is at its max size, the space below the board (game info) is not resizable and is greatest than needed, the toolbar icons are too small.

I know that migrate the GUI to a modern lib as Gtk4 or Qt6 is a hard work nut tcl/tk is poor nowadays.

Any workaround to see the toolbar icons bigger?

Thanks for your good work and this awesome app.

    Toolbar config has an option for larger icons.

    Button bar Icons can be enlarged by finding this string
    "Change the size of the button bar" in the gui / scid file
    and changing the first {0} to {1} , the second {1} to {0} to enable ### twice size

    Probably i should incorporate these as options.
    How does it look ?
    S.A.

      Toolbar icons are now usable but still small
      I can't find the gui / scid file, where is it and how is named?

      Thanks

    OK, i have committed a change and the Buttonbars will now resize alongside the toolbar icons.

    But this change is just in now subversion. You'll have to checkout subversion and reinstall / copy the new "scid" gui over. You'll have to figure this out from other doco, though it's really not hard. S.A

    Ok, cheers.

    Just looking at your screenshot, i see you might be using Wayland, as the switcher fonts aren't correctly padded. Try using X instead.

    And you have an "Event" stored as a precomment tag ! ?? instead of properly saved in the Event field.

      As I said, my system is Arch + GNome 50 with Wayland (No X support from GNome). I'm happy with the GUI now.
      Thank you
