Got into zooming territory c:

Hello, Ardour fellas.
As I’ve been working tonight in my session, the top panel of ardour dissappeared, idk why. So I went to Preferences, to look, maybe the there’s something wrong with zooming. Then stupid thing happened - I accidentally dialed zooming all the way up, and now I can manage only a little bits of the screen. can’t even go to the preferences to set everything as it was. Interesting thing is when I press Alt+F1 to look at the workspaces (shown on pic2) Ardour shows the zooming is correct, and top panel is in it’s right place. Can you tell me how to fix this? I’m a total noob but tried re-installing, starting new projects, nothing works. What have I done wrong with it?
ardour version 6.6.0
os - linux mint 20.1

The quick/dirty way is to quit Ardour and remove the preferences:

rm ~/.config/ardour6/ui_config

You can also edit the file and change the UI scale: (100 * 1024 is the default)

<Option name="font-scale" value="102400"/>

It worked, thank you so much!
thought Ardour is hard to manage after using Fruity Loops for a long time, but what a fantastic thing that it exists, it’s affordable and user friendly, has pretty much every feature you’ll ever need
