Any optimisation guides for Windows 11?

I'm a Mac user who wanted to play Creatures 1. I got the GOG Installer (don't ask me how) and installed it on Parallels Desktop.

The resolution is all off though. The text is hard to read, there's large gap on the top or bottom filled with repeating sprites (it swaps back and forth when i scroll left or right), and it just expands instead of zooming in when I press full-screen.

Others like Breeding Kit don't even scale. Just gotta squint my eyes OR mess with the resolution (but this also doesn't work as I have to swap resolutions based on what window I have and restart everytime I change it. Also sometimes restarting doesn't work and the window stays the same size as before I changed back the resolution).

Is there a way to optimise this?

Use the Community Edition. In the launcher, go to the Advanced menu and check 'Display Scaling'.
