(2020) Can't change resolution in NXT?

Original Post

Used to use the java client but it's no longer available to I downloaded the NXT client.

I have a 4k monitor, but when runescape is set to 4k the text and interfaces are way to small for me to see. Whenever I try to choose another resolution, I can click on it but it doesn't change. I tried changing my screen resolution to 1920 and it changes to that when I run the auto-setup, but as soon as I change back to 4k it also switches back to 4k.

Edit: This is what my screen looks like and it's pretty much unplayable. I couldn't even snip my whole screen because snip tool would crash.

Would suggest an upgrade to Windows 10, looks like the system scaling is not behaving correctly, or perhaps you've disabled it explicitly on rs2client.exe. I don't have much first hand experience of high DPI on Windows 7, but that does not look like how it should out of the box.

You could also try re-enabling Aero, running in basic theme (no compositing) on high DPI is not ideal
