WinUAE and per monitor DPI awareness

zardoz · 13 October 2017, 10:51

Hi Toni,

I'm only asking / reporting as I'm trying to work out how to support high DPI monitors.

Did you know that WinUAE reports itself as being per monitor DPI aware in Windows 10? It's scaled itself badly as I've got 1 high res monitor (184 dpi) and another 'normal' (96 DPI) monitor.

The app. I work on was announcing itself as being System Aware - there are some MFC components that should be - however it looked like shite in practice, so I've turned off DPI Awareness in the manifest, which tells Windows to do the scaling. And it looks fine...

Of course that may affect how things behave in Win 8 / Win 7 and earlier.

HTH.

It worked fine when I added and tested it (in Windows 10).

EDIT: to make this more useful reply: what is your GUI settings? (misc panel, font size etc) and what is gui size reported in log when in 96dpi monitor and what gets logged when moved to 184dpi monitor?
