Problems setting up IDE
Hello, I'm having some issues setting up Code Blocks.

First issue is the screen resolution, it looks horrible. I tried looking up online how to change the resolution but I couldn't. My laptop screen is 1080 so I assume that is the issue?
Second, it cannot find my compiler, I know my laptop has one because visual studio works fine on it. But I want this IDE too

Woah, that looks weird. At first I thought you had resized the image.
Windows is definitely detecting the scale settings incorrectly. On Windows 10 you can right-click an executable and in the properties dialog you have the option to tweak those settings.

Okay I that fixed the blurry-ness but the UI is kinda small now, is there a way to scale it up so it's not teeny tiny?
And the compiler thing is still an issue, it's not detecting the GNU GCC or something like that compiler.
Thanks again my friend

did you install minGw seperately? if so, make sure the file path directory is
C:\MinGW
and not hidden is some random folders. if you want you can just uninstall everything and do a clean install.
http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries
codeblocks-17.12mingw-setup.exe is the one you want to install. that includes both the IDE and compiler so you can have everything knocked out in one shot.

The small UI is a minor issue, I can deal with it later.
@r6racer I installed it again with that version but it still doesn't see the minGW or GNU compiler.

check if your environment variables are correct

I'm a newbie, I have no idea what those are... I never had this issue installing Code blocks last time...
Did you download the Code Blocks with a compiler or without one? Assuming the latter,
You'll need to specify where your compiler's executables are under Compiler and Debugger settings (I believe that's under the Settings pulldown menu).
