Dear Polo,

You ask for new features of the Form Designer (5.24LTS , x86), but simple things, like the fontsize
in the gadget proporties, are still not yet readable when using HighRes-Monitors.
The Fonts of the IDE are ok.

You have written you have no time for this. Is years ago.
Where this bug will be finished ?

You should test the Form Designer with scale values of the System (Win7, 8)
from 100 to 200%. Modern monitors have much pixels!

If you have no time in next years, then bring the font size in the PureBasic.prefs.
So the user can do the adjustment.

Its a shame the nice product PureBasic.

With regards
H.-J.

The Property editor uses wrong font and wrong colors. The font is too large and not the same as used by the IDE. The colors are hard-coded. In my case it should be white text on black background as seen in the toolbox above.

I can't test this bug as I don't have such hardware.

Hi Polo, there is no special hardware needed for testing. In Windows, you can adjust the DPI value somewhere in the appearance settings. On Ubuntu, you may select other font sizes instead.

Hello Polo,

a hardcopy from a Win7/64 System, Purebasic x86 5.24LTS, system scale 150%

You can see the problem, the Form Designer is not useable.

It's not that difficult. With the TextHeight() function you can measure the required height of a property grid line. Just add some padding, e.g 5% at top and bottom, and that's it.
