Roon complains about desktop resolution and will only work in Max or Full screen mode

Hey @Rugby – thanks for getting in touch.

Right now, Roon requires at least 700 pixels of vertical space, and there are a couple reasons why you might be having this issue, even when it seems like you should have more than enough resolution:

  • a fixed taskbar in Windows or dock in OS X will subtract from your usable space
  • the window title and borders will subtract from your usable space
  • the scale factor on windows

You can tweak scale factor by right-clicking on the desktop, choosing Screen Resolution, then clicking “Make Text And Other Items Larger Or Smaller”.

The screen looks like this:

If you’re running 125% or higher on 1080p with taskbar, it’s possible you’re going to drop below 700px.

Hope that helps @Rugby!
