How to fix scaling issues
Hi. I use Steam on a 4K 50" TV. I have Windows set to 150% scaling so I can actually read the text, but while it was fine before I did a rebuild of the OS now steam is all weird: https://i.imgur.com/0eqpmIS.png Also when I get the news popup it spans a few monitors. Really irritating.

I set scaling back to 100% and it is fine now, but it's painful to read. Is there something I need to do to tell Steam to play nice with display scaling? I had 150% scaling before and it was fine. Dunno why it's being a jerk about it now.

Steam got a setting to scale with the system. Enable that (and restart Steam). Alternatively, you can play around with scaling compatibility settings for Steam.exe.

Changing text size is global, whereas scaling only affects the desired display.
