Daslight and screen resolution.

Post by AlRamsay »

Are there any plans to fix Daslight software with respect to using the windows dpi settings. My new laptop has a high resolution screen and Daslight is completely unusable.

I have managed to make it work by artificially dropping the screen resolution but that isn't realy a practical solution because of the impact on other software and the windows GUI.

Kind regards

Hello,

There are no plans to change Daslight4 so it matches windows' DPI settings. We have heard all of our customers who said this was a problem, and we have decided to make sure our next softwares will allow interface size ratio changes.

Best regards,
TomHat

There seems to be a quite decent way to bypass this problem in Windows (10) without changing the screenresolution. I found it in a different post in the forum.

When setting the program to compatibility mode and override the high DPI setting is renders in such a way it is very well readable on a high res screen. (Open properties for the .exe file in the File explorer, click compatibility mode, change high dpi settings, override high DPI scaling - scaling performed by -> System)

Hope this helps.
