GUI - small and almost unreadable

[kityafnsd 2]

Hello there!

If this doesn't belong here, please delete and I'll get the idea lol

I'm new to AirVPN and Eddie -- but running into some issues with getting connected for the first time. Ultimately I'll be looking to take advantage of some of the more advanced features and will likely be using the CLI anyways depending on what docs / help I'm able to find, but I've been having issues with eddie's UI being too small, the cli running indefinitely, and i'm just not sure if this is picture or description are as expected? maybe I just need to adjust a few things on my screen/mybrain

Erm, what's your resolution and DPI settings?
Or, you know, just inxi the info.

$ inxi -Sxxx -Gxx -I --za

Hi,

Thanks for the response, @OpenSourcerer - I've come across your name many times in these forums so far.  This has mostly been resolved!

The bulk of my issue was that I was 1, using moonlight to view the desktop, and 2, I have not so great vision... and 3, I am using a slightly lower quality HDMI to my ubuntu machine cause I mostly am using it as a server. 

I use moonlight/sunshine instead of RDP because I find it easier to use with pretty much any OS. Since all my pc's are all on an eth connection I can get super low latency, high fps when I want it. Normally there is close to no difference between the physically connected monitor but  when I checked on the same monitor to be sure it was mostly larger.

Here is my output on the resolution :
 

Screen-1: 0 s-res: 3840x2160 s-dpi: 139 s-size: 702x392mm (27.64x15.43")

Just wanted to follow up that I'm pretty sure that the reason for the small UI was mostly due to the resolution that was set on the client computer, not necessarily the host computer. The moonlight app lets you set a resolution in addition to the resolution that you can change on the host computer. This is useful for doing weird "picture in picture" things I like to spend way too much time configuring!
