MegaWizard Plug in Manager GUI ipdate for Windows 11

Are there any plans to fix the GUI interface for MegaWizard Plug in Manager so that the contents of the dialog fit in the dialog box without resizing. The 'Cancel', 'Back', 'Next' and 'Finish' button...

May I know which device and Quartus version you are using?

The MegaWizard Plug-In Manager is an older IP parameter editor GUI, typically used with legacy devices in Quartus Lite/Standard.

As you may or may not be aware, Quartus Lite/Standard is currently in maintenance mode. Therefore, the likelihood of any enhancements being implemented is very low.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.


Regards,

    I am running Quartus Prime Version 24.1std0 Build 1077 03/04/2025 5C Lite Edition. When I click the About button in MegaWizard, it just gives me the Quartus Prime information.

    o are you telling me that to get a professional looking product, I have to pay for it. It seems unfair to charge for the tools to program the hardware on the development board. Is Altera not making enough money on the chips and development boards, that they have to charge again for the software to actually do anything with them?
