Tool cursor size issue / related to multiple screens?
Cursor size issue:
In AE my tool icons are GIANT. I can’t take a screen grab of them because they are cursors and Screen Print doesn’t grab cursors, but to give you an idea, the Text Cursor is ~4x the height of the Comp window option line, or ~4X the height of a layer line in the Timeline. Other cursors are similarly en-gianted.
I think this is related to working on a laptop with a very high rez integral screen, BUT mainly working on an auxiliary monitor. The laptop screen is hi-rez, but small: the monitor is bigger but low rez: if I take a screenie it gives me a combined image where the laptop portion is twice the width & height of the axillary portion.
So, the cursor size is a bother: any way to address this? Tnx!

Try the public beta of After Effects. I know they fixed some issues in there with varying screen sizes. I don’t recall if cursors were part of that. If not, file a bug on the After Effects UserVoice.

If on Windows, is your scaling set to 100% under display properties?

If I do so, my laptop screen UI elements become miniscule (including OS stuff).
It’s like the OS Display considers the low-resolution but physically larger screen to be the metric, and the laptop’s hirez but smallish to be dependent. The problem is that the cursors are ENORMOUS on the low-rez screen, which is where I’d prefer to work.
I’d really like to be able to control the scaling of the cursors myself. >|^\
