• vernam7its not a bug! bug is when something behaves as it shouldnt be! this behaves as it was designed! to work with DPI 100% ;-) its what we call form scaling!
  and this is atteched to the windows font settings.

  and why was designed like that?? because the background image if it was scaling to match the rest of the UI the skin would go very very blur! its the limitation of 2d, and i am not gona do a 3d interface just for that ;-)

  forgive me for being unclear. i'm not suggesting that the UI should be redesigned to properly scale itself to match the DPI. this is possible, but as you explained, the decorations used for the UI do not afford scaling easily.

  rather, i'm requesting two things together:
  1) stop scaling the dimensions of the window contents (the parts of my previous screenshot which have a solid black background). right now they are apparently scaled by the same factor as the DPI percentage. the need for this can always be circumvented by conditional scroll bars or by changing the UI layout.
  2) stop scaling the position of the window contents. right now they are apparently scaled by the same factor as are the dimensions, but this is completely unnecessary.

  vernam7BUT i have just wrote some code for the next version that will worn you for settings like those and the tool will not start.

  please revert this change! this amounts to a complete loss of functionality for me. it is unreasonable for you to dictate to your users what their DPI setting should be. instead, please find a way to address this properly.
