Hey guys today am going to share a registry key that could help you to get better screen resolution in all apps. I tested it on my device and it is giving good result
PATH: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Theme
KEY: FontScale
VALUE: any value b/w 10 to 100 (recommended 50)

I hope it helps you
Click thanks if you like

you did not get a better screen, you just made the text smaller
yes no change in screen resolution
but using way we can get the font and tiles even smaller than the system's default

Looks neat to me, using the UserPreferenceWidth did the same but for some apps only, i thought we could add the fifth button in action center with this too.
Any key for that?
No in ease of access you dont get as low as he has mentioned.
Use UserPreferenceWidth=75
that too gives lower font size
thanks for confirming
yes, i tried that UserPreferenceWidth option but that key is not working on Lumia devices.
I also tried to add the fifth action center tile but no luck till now.

weird, it worked for me on Lumia 525, u need to restart the phone once u edit the registry, atleast that was what I had to do to get it to work. Remember to pin the Preview for developers app to the start screen before u restart the phone or else it disappears from the app list.
i.e if you use the PfD reg tool hack

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Settings\QuickSettingElements\Pinned]
"AllowedQuickSettingsElements"=DWORD:00000005

"AllowedQuickSettingsElements"=DWORD:00000006
With AllowedQuickSettingsElements=6 I have 6 actions button or my phone doesn't boot in your opinion?
Or nothing change?
