Hi,
When I open up SimulIDE the entire interface is in very small fonts. I have figured out how to make the editor larger, but the Components Tab, Serial Monitor, Compiler window, etc. are very small. How to I make the whole interface use larger fonts. I have attached a picture below (I already increased the Editor Font size).
Also, when compiling a basic scetch (Blink), it compiles, but then fails with the below error.

Index error: could not find referenced tool name=avr-gcc version=4.8.1-arduino5 packager=arduino

What am I missing? (This is Windows 10).
Thanks!
Interface size in diferent screens is something that i need to work on.
By now there is no solution if you use high dpi screen.
About compiling:
Can you compile in Arduino IDE?
Wich Arduino version are you using?
Regards.
Thanks, Santiago!
I solved my compile issues. I was getting a file cerificate error for the once of the board Json files. I removed the cached ones which force the Arduino IDE to re-download them, and I can compile in SImulIDE now.
Bummer on the interface size. I was hoping that it was fixed in 3.1. On my laptop is basically un-usable. I have the use the "Magifier" application in windows to enlarge parts of the screen, etc.
Any quick fix that you could add to 3.1 for this issue?
I'll become a Patreon so I can get 3.1, if you can come up with a fix! :)
Thanks!

As far as i know it should look good in a normal laptop screen, and small in a 4k screen.
Also depends in how you configure your desktop dpi.
But now watching the picture again, fonts in the circuit look ok, is it zoomed?
The only solution i can think at the moment is making interface font size configurable, wich is a good idea, that's not a quick fix, but it could be included in next RC that will be ready in a few days.
Regards.
Yes the circuit area is zoomed in like the editor. My laptop has a high dpi display so I think your right
I'm joining your patreon. Your quick answers have sold me. I really like the tool and see that it has alot of potential.
Great work!
Thank you very much.
Hi Matt.
There is a quick fix for interface font scale in last RC.
Forgot to mention that you need restart simulide to change scale.
This needs somo more work, but i think at least this way it will be more usable.
Regards.
I heave the same problem when i compile a blink sketch. I try upgrade and downgrade the arduino IDE but didn´t solve. Above the error log.

You are using a beta version of Arduino IDE.
Have you tried with last Arduino IDE release: ARDUINO 1.8.9 ?
initially it was with version 1.8.9, then downgraded to version 1.6.12, the problem continued, I upgraded to 1.9.beta and the problem remained.
PS. I use win7-64 and simulide 0.3.10-SR2-win32, i try with SR1 too.
hi, You can helpme ? how I do this.
I solved my compile issues. I was getting a file cerificate error for the once of the board Json files. I removed the cached ones which force the Arduino IDE to re-download them, and I can compile in SImulIDE now.
