Heli-X 8 on Windows 10 and high DPI

Post by lucag »

Hello,

I'm running Heli-X on Windows 10 with a High DPI display (4K), and the text is virtually unreadable:
heli-x-hdpi.PNG
heli-x-hdpi.PNG (173.9 KiB) Viewed 9122 times
The application seems to ignore Windows' DPI settings. Changing DPI settings for the java.exe that is part of the distribution (by right-clicking on it, choosing "Compatibility", and then "Change high DPI settings") somewhat fixes the problem with the font size (although characters look slightly blurred), but then the only one quarter of the screen is shown on the display, so that's a complete no-go.

I know there's an option for changing the font size (Option | Font Size), and "L" is already selected.

Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks,
--L.
