Issues with small windows/font

Hi, I'm in a bit of a bind, I have a windows 10 computer and I don't think Greenfoot likes it very much. The UI is incredibly small and very hard to read, I've tried to fix this in preferences by increasing the text size, but the only thing that effects is the actual code (which, thank god) for preservative the text in the code is size 36. IMAGE LINK BELOW: http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q374/tolvec/smallwindow%20greenfoot_zpsn6dohhs6.png I'm not really sure how to fix this? I have tried to change the resolution of the screen as a whole but ultimately it didn't change the window itself. Please help, thanks!

The image link you posted doesn't work. The image shows as a message saying "Please update your account to enable 3rd party hosting" and a link to http://www.photobucket.com/P500/. However, I think the issue is that you have a so-called "hi-DPI" display and have set a high resolution. Setting the resolution low enough should solve the problem, I think, though obviously the display will not look as crisp in other applications. For the moment I do not think there is any complete solution. The next release of Greenfoot should solve it, but I am not sure when that will be available.

I have tried to set it to a lower resolution already! unfortunately it just ends up taking up the entire screen with the same unreadable text. This link should work: https://68.media.tumblr.com/01d7ace11d08afcf302dca203eceba7d/tumblr_owjhgxavqS1s09trvo1_1280.png

You would need to re-start Greenfoot after selecting a low display resolution.

I just gave it a try and again no significant change? The text was slightly more legible if only because greenfoot took up my entire screen? But it didn't really change .

Ok, to be honest I'm not certain as I don't have a suitable machine/display to test with, but I'd have thought that setting a lower resolution should cause Greenfoot to behave exactly as it would on a naturally low-resolution screen. If it doesn't, there's not much I can offer other than what I've already said above (i.e. issue should hopefully be resolved in the next version).
