Sumac window is too small and the wording is hard to read
If you have a high resolution monitor, Sumac windows might appear uncomfortably small on your screen and be very hard to read. Here are some quick steps to help resolve the issue.
Windows Computers
On a windows computer, you can right-click on your Sumac icon and click on "Properties".
On the window that opens up, click on the "Compatibility" tab, and then click on "Change high DPI settings". Put a checkmark in the box beside "Override high DPI scaling behavior" and make sure that "Application" is selected in the drop-down underneath.
Click Okay, Apply and Okay to close all the windows.
Now you can log into Sumac as you normally would.
