making tiles bigger

Hello,
I have a 4K monitor and thus the beautiful tiles are too small on my monitor. I wanted to increase their size (just doubling width and height so that it is equal to a 1080p monitor) but I could not find any option to do that. Is there any option? And if so,where?
Thanks for answers,
Daniel

See tile_cell_pixels in the options guide (online here: http://crawl.akrasiac.org/docs/options_guide.txt, or available in the in game help)

Thanks for the answer. I have found it and changed the value from 32 to 64 in this file. Then I restarted DCSS but the size of the tiles is exactly the same as before. I have made the change directly in the options guide via Notepad. Did I do something wrong?

I would look for an error message on startup (crawl will ensure that enough tiles fit for a viable display), also make sure the file you changed is the one where the settings are being loaded from.

If you get really desperate you can start it fullscreened with a lower resolution as a fallback option

Re: making tiles bigger

There is no error message on startup.
How can I know that the file which I changed is the one the settings are loaded from?
I can set the entire Win10 scaling to 200% and it works fine. But the drawback is that I have to change it everytime I play dcss and then change it back just to have my desctop items chaotically arranged. So thats not really a good solution. And changing the screenresolution would have the same problems.
