Steam interface is too big

[gojo satoryu]

My steam interface is too big and the pages are zoomed in, I didn't change anything, today when I turned on my PC the Steam interface is already big. Does anyone know how to fix this?

resolution of steam window is wrong

After an update a few weeks ago, my resolution became all messed up. Im running steam on a 1080p monitor but the window/ texts/ pics looks like 720p (giant)
I already tried disabling the scaling by that still doesnt work
It was perfectly fine a few weeks ago but idk what the hell the update did

Steam client update today. The download pane now resembles a scaled 640x480 app.

This popular trend of increasing font/icons sizes with every other "update"
is really annoying. A 4K PC monitor is not a tablet. These "updates" are literary a waste of space. I don't want to scroll or go full screen in order to read a few lines. Don't fix what isn't broken.

Thank you! You just saved me a world of aggravation!

I was successful by looking in the properties of the desktop shortcut and checking the compatibility section. I unchecked "run in 640x480 screen resolution"

Over 6 years later and this tip is still good. Thanks.
