======Rhino 5 Toolbars and Text too small on high resolution screen======

=== Text and icons too tiny? ===
=== Fuzzy display? ===
=== Layer panel blank? ===

> **Summary:** //The Rhino V5 for Windows user interface was not designed for the new Ultra High Definition, High DPI, or High Resolution displays. These are the details needed to make Windows automatic display scaling work correctly to correct the issue.\\
Additionally, with the release of Windows 10 Creator's Edition, several commands quit displaying their contents including the **Layer panel**.//

====What needs to be done?====
  - Install Rhino V5 for Windows [[http://www.rhino3d.com/download/rhino/5.0/sr|Service Release 14]]
  - Make Windows version specific changes as needed. Run Windows **About your PC** to determine Windows Version

====Fuzzy display after update? - Windows version specific details:====
