How do I download 3.0.0? I just bought a Windows 10 laptop with a 4K screen and the buttons are tiny. The version I see on the website is 2.28.

Thanks

Doesn't seem to been changed. Tried the release candidate build, read above it was fixed in nightly. Grabbed the nightly as of Jan 13, and this is what I get even with Windows 10 recommended 300% scaling. VLC is not making use of Windows scaling.

@Jean-Baptiste Kempf
any updates or advice? plz?

vlc is impossible to use especially with playlists. Text looks like dirt on the screen. I have seen you reply over the years it keeps getting fixed, but always seems to be broke again

Likely a bug in Qt rather than VLC so ...
