    Thanks!

    Out of the box, the IDL 8.8 Workbench (the current version) should look reasonable on 4k monitors. You can use "Crtl and +" to increase the font size of the Editor and Console text.

    One thing that may need manual tweaking is to adjust the size of the icons in the Toolbar at the top, which often can appear small on high-resolution displays. To do this, follow the instructions below...

    1) Edit the idlde.ini file

    Windows: C:\Program Files\Harris\IDL88\bin\bin.x86_64\idlde.ini
    Linux: /usr/local/harris/idl88/bin/bin.linux.x86_64/idlde/idlde.ini

    Add this line under -vmargs:

    -Dswt.autoScale=200

    *NOTE: Changing the .ini file setting on Mac OS has no effect due to operating system limitations.
