DasLight 4 (Beta) Scaling Issues on 4K screen.

Post by DerpyDoom »

Hi.

I am using a Dell XPS which has a 4K Screen. And it seems like DasLight is using the Native resolution instead of the Windows scaling.

And this can be quite challenging since the buttons are VERY VERY! tiny.

I think this can count as a bug and should be added. Since 4K is starting to get more into the cheap market.

Hello,

Thank you for reporting. Yes this is one major mistake we made while developping D4. We're making sure this doesn't happen in next versions of our software.

Best regards,
TomHat

I have a simple workaround for this issue:

1. Right-click on the Daslight icon and select Properties
2. Click on the Compatibility tab
3. Go down to settings and select "Change high DPI settings"
4. Under High DPI scaling override check the "Override high DPI" box and then select "System" from the dropdown menu
5. Click OK, then Apply

When you start the program the text will no longer be tiny.
