The new GUI in 3.5 is too big for my screen. In Faders view I can no longer access the bottom of the fader for output info, etc.

I reported this too.

The default size is just too big.

I suggested having a user configurable default which could then be expanded when needed.

I found the issue.

In Windows I had changed the scale of the display items to 125 percent because I am not a young man any longer. This affected the VST plugin version, making it so that I could not see the bottom of the GUI screen. Interestinlgy, it did not affect the standalone version.

Maybe BFD could make the VST version respond the same way as the standalone? That way I could get the large scale that makes it easier to work with AND see everything in the GUI.

Yeah, I noticed this too on my MBA. The MacOS default size is 1440x900, and this plugin is bigger than this at its smallest size. I hope they will fix this asap.

Yes…!!
This is a big problem. In the recent BFD 3.5 version (MacOS 15.3.2), the default window size is too big and does not scale when you try to make it smaller. The window will NOT resize at all. There is no adjustment for this in the Preferences Menu either… (why would anyone ever want to do that?)
The top or bottom of the GUI will be cut off. Which one is cut off appears to be random as well. It’s buggy. Usually with scalable plugin windows you can grab the corner of the window and resize it… however this is not possible even though you can see a “resize” icon in the lower right corner of the window. It will get wider, just not smaller. PLEASE fix this…!!! It’s so frustrating to have to close and reopen the plugin window just to be able to have access to the top or bottom of the screen. Functionality is seriously compromised.

Anyone have a “fix”…??

However, the height is the problem, covers the whole DAW window, my resolution is 1920 x1080. If you could just scale it, you also have to consider that the font size could become too small again. In stand alone mode it is fine.
Many plugins have this problem, and I already wear screen glasses.

Same issue here on a MacBoook Air M2. BFD3 should include the same Scale option as the BFD player.
