How do I fix it?]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p dir="auto">As of version 24 Opera now respects Windows' dpi settings.</p>
<h4>Where do I set those?</h4>
<ol>
<li>right-click your desktop</li>
<li>choose "Screen resolution"</li>
<li>click "Make text and other items larger or smaller"</li>
</ol>
<h4>Okay, but I want it to stay as it is, but Opera to be just as big as before</h4>
<p dir="auto">Right. Unfortunately there's no easy way to do this yet. The only way to do this right now (working so-so starting from Opera 25, working perfectly as of version 28) is:</p>
<ol>
<li>add the <code>--alt-high-dpi-setting=96</code> command line parameter to a shortcut<br />
(if you don't know how to do that have a look <a href="https://forums.opera.com/topic/5344/faq-how-do-i-add-a-command-line-switch-to-opera">here</a>)</li>
<li>start Opera via this shortcut</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Yes, that doesn't work if Opera gets started by another program (e.g. by clicking a link in an email), but it's better than nothing, right?<br />
We'll let you know right here as soon as there's an alternative.</p>
<p dir="auto">btw: you can scale Opera (28+) to any size by changing 96 (= 100%) into something else, e.g. 120 = 125%, 144 = 150%, 192 = 200%, 240 = 250% or anything in between and beyond <img src="https://forums.opera.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/emoji-one/1f609.png?v=as0c4tkadao" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-emoji-one emoji--winking_face" title=";)" alt="😉" /></p>

So, don't you think Opera developers could provide an easy way to fix that, for instance, allowing to enable/disable that feature in "Opera:flags"?</p>

<p dir="auto">Someone posted in another thread here that this command line switch works only in versions <em>above</em> Opera 24, such as developer and beta.</p>
