How to get Jwalk client to proportionally resize the screen on high resolution monitor?

One user has a PC with larger monitors that run at high resolution and when they run a Jwalk client in Full Screen mode it is not proportionally scale.

Instead you end up with a relatively small area for the IBM i interface (approx 30%) and a vary large boarder (the remaining 70%)

Is there a setting I can adjust to change this to improved the way the Jwalk client scales?

We are using Jwalk v42c9 as a locally installed client, with a copy of all the panels stored with it on a Windows 11 PC.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Please verify you have shown the Client toolbar:

Click JWalk icon on top left of Client
Click “Toolbars…”
Select “RTCUSTOM” and uncheck Hide
You should now see the toolbar with buttons
Uncheck the Toggle Panel Resizing
1. Now, if you resize the Client window, the Client should now maximize
You can also verify if the font resizing is checked.

In the Toolbar, you can click the Help button and then search for “Resizing”

Hi Steve, have you checked the “Font Mapping and Panel Resizing” section of the Jwalk client built-in help? (jw9c.chm in client’s folder)
