    The resolution of my editor (or whatever it's called) is super low and it's really bothering me, how do I change it? I'm not finding much help as other threads are about the resolution of the games, and not the actual editor.

    The Editor should have the native resolution of your screen.

    Could you post a screenshot?

    Generally all windows in Windows (including Unity Editor) are using the native resolution. For me (and probably most of us), it's 1920X1080. Usually Windows detects the correct resolution on first setup. However, it can be wrong, in which case you go to Settings > System > Display > Resolution and set the highest possible resolution.

    Without seeing what's exactly going on it's hard to tell based on your description.

    The text...etc. are blurry in Unity.

    Could you share a picture? Also, are you on PC or Mac?

    I fixed by changing the text scale from 125% to 100%, makes everything a bit harder to click due to my small screen (affects other programs as well).

    Did you restart after setting to 125%? After setting a larger scale you need a restart. It's not exclusive to Unity, it has to do with how apps handle text scaling in Windows.

    No, and I don't see how that's necessary.

    When changing resolution Windows will warn you:

    At this point you just need to read what Windows is telling you; this has nothing to do with Unity.
