    Default DF does not like high res screens.

    I just got a 4K screen laptop, which comes with, by default a 200% magnification. DF does not like this.

    Michael,

    I see that. Have you noticed any other areas that show a problem?

    I have a 4k monitor and it doesn't look like that at 200%.

    Just all the usual pain points around developing apps with non standard font sizes, Big Buttons etc. But that's not new.

    It's actually 250%

    I tried it and it looks fine at 250%.

    This looks like 19.1 have you tried 20 ?

    I can't remember if there were more font/scaling fixes over the extra ones in 19.1 but they have had at least two bites at the cake

    I have noticed this too on my 4K screen running at 150%, objects based on the obsolete List class do not scale the row height to accommodate larger font sizes. At 150% descenders on letters are cut off, so it's still readable. Since the class is marked obsolete I did not expect it to be fixed and plan on someday creating a drop in replacement based on a single column codejock grid. Funny that the Studio still seems to be using an obsolete class.

    Runs smooth for me with 19.1 4K with 150%, 200%,225% and 300%. Never tried 250%...
    BUT: If you change the sclaing factor, you need to restart the studio and sometimes logout/login again.
