Default Reaper looks tiny on 4K Laptop

Hi,
Is there any way to increase the size of Reaper on a 4K 13” laptop? I’m new to Reaper and Windows 10.
Thanks!

There are a few Hi dpi themes in the themes part of the reaper stash, but this is an ongoing issue. White Tie (official default theme developer) has a beta theme that should work OK with 4k screens. GO read up on the threads in the theme-ing section.
P.S. Welcome to the forums!

Have you tried lowering your screen resolution when you use Reaper? I know that's kind of a hassle to mess around with the screen resolution for a specific application, but it may be your best workaround until a fix comes out.

Toleolu is probably your solution. Unfortunately, while high res is real nice looking, on small laptop screens, applications that have a very detailed UI will look quite small on your screen.

There are definitely certain UI elements that you can resize easily, such as the tracks. You can use the pop-out mixer to give more screen real estate if you don't need it to see mixers on tracks all the time.
