Can the UI or fonts be made to be bigger?

A common question that we get is whether or not it is possible to make things bigger so that they are easier to see.

This is possible provided that:

1. Promiso 8.0 and above is installed and
2. The Promiso Launcher application version of the Promiso client (i.e. Promiso runs as an application and not in a web browser).

Here are the steps required to change the UI scaling on a particular workstation:

1. Closing any open instances of the Promiso client on your workstation.
2. Locating the <Promiso installation folder>\PromisoLauncher.properties file and open it in a text editor such as notepad. If you have a Promiso icon on your desktop then an easy way to find this file is to right click the icon and select ‘Open file location’ from the menu. The PromisoLauncher.properties file should be listed in the folder that appears.
3. Editing the PromisoLauncher.properties file in a text editor like notepad.
4. Configuring the LargeUIMode property to be true:
   
   

   #Promiso Launcher Properties 
   #Fri Jul 24 11:21:07 PDT 2026 
   LargeUIMode=true 
   PromisoContextURL=https\://123.456.789.10\:9443/INFOMED/ 
   UIScalingFactor=1.2

5. If desired, configuring the UIScalingFactor property. This property controls the amount that the UI will be scaled up. The default value of 1.2 will result in the Promiso UI being scaled up by 20%. We have found this to be adequate in most cases.
6. Saving the changes while ensuring that the name of the file is still PromisoLauncher.properties and not PromisoLauncher.properties.txt.
7. Clicking your Promiso icon to launch Promiso again. Things should now look 20% bigger!
