Hi DPI Monitor with CC3 plus
Just playing around with the new CC3+ and I notice that the buttons and text are really, really small, as you can see from my attachment.
This is presumably due to my brand new 4k monitor.
I can't see any way of increasing the size of the buttons and text in the options. Is there a hidden setting in a .ini file or in the registry?

Yes they were microscopic in CC3. I used to run it in 1080p so it was ok. I was hoping that with a new piece of software released in 2015 the problem would be resolved. It is still usable, just, as the monitor is 28" and the actual maps look amazing on it so I will keep it like this. It would be nice for an "extra large" option for the ui before release though.
Bizarrely enough it seems to be the "design" type software that scales the worst. Exactly the sort of software that 4k is useful for :-)
If you're considering an upgrade to 4k be careful. I've had so many headaches with it until the software catches up.
Other than the one map at 1000x800 scale 2.0 symbols, I haven't had any problems with CC3+, it is much faster saving to pngs.
It's not the first software that I have to change the resolution for and probably won't be the last. I am rapidly getting used to software that does not scale well for high DPI monitors.
It will probably be more of an issue in the coming years when these monitors hit the mainstream and publishers are forced to do something or be left behind.
