Strange, because using the same method as what you, but with a fpGUI test application. Scaling worked perfectly on Linux, FreeBSD, Win2000, WinXP, Win7 and Win8.1 Here are screenshots I just did under Windows 8.1. The application was designed at 96dpi, and I tested with 120 (120%), 144 (150%) and 192 (200%) dpi values. Note how the whole application stays in proportion with clear text and graphics. http://geldenhuys.co.uk/~graemeg/temp/ Granted, under Win8.1 I had to include a manifest file to tell Windows that my application is DPI-aware, otherwise it does scaling (app stays at 96dpi and then Windows zooms the app). Here is the manifest file I used, as as recommended by Microsoft. =========================== <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3" > <asmv3:application> <asmv3:windowsSettings xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings";> <dpiAware>true</dpiAware> </asmv3:windowsSettings> </asmv3:application> </assembly> =========================== https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn469266%28v=vs.85%29.aspx Regards, - Graeme - -- fpGUI Toolkit - a cross-platform GUI toolkit using Free Pascal http://fpgui.sourceforge.net/ My public PGP key: http://tinyurl.com/graeme-pgp -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
