Whenever I download a blend file someone has posted, it seems that the u.i. is almost always in the ‘stock’ configuration, particularly the “tiny” panels and dialog properties.
“Someone”, obviously prefers that, hint, name starts with “T”, and ends with “n” :D.
If you didn’t know before reading this post, the panels can be “zoomed”, with Numpad + , Numpad -, and so can the property dialogs (Transform, View Properties, Background Image, etc). You just have to “hover” the mouse pointer over the dialog when pressing the + / - keys.
Just thought I’d pass this on to those of you, like me, who might not have 20/20 vision.
