Chrome New Tab overlaps with Minimize

Question

In Google Chrome, the new tab button (when I have many tabs open) overlaps with the minimize, resize, and close buttons. It seems to be caused by having my DPI at 150% on Win7. Setting Chrome to use default 100% DPI fixes the issue, but is too small to read comfortably. Is there a good workaround?

Answer 1

Try lowering the resolution of your screen. On the desktop, right-click and go to Screen Resolution. Change the resolution to something smaller and set the DPI back to 100%.

It wont look quite as good, so this is not a perfect solution, but it will fix the problem you are having.

Answer 2

@Connor W, you're answer is correct, Windows at 150% will try to re-size the elements of other programs as well. Chrome doesn't handle this well, hence the error. Apart from changing the screen resolution, you can run Chrome itself at 100% by right-clicking on it>properties>compatibility>Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.

The problem with this, is that it winds up being tiny. The fix that I implemented was to use a theme. Most (but not all) themes will fix the issue, and restore the tabs to their correct position.
