Desktop scale

[akee]

PB 6.10. Is the desktop scale suppose to be constant 100? I set my display scale to 150%. however the scale still shows 100 instead of 150 even if DPI aware is unchecked.

Code: Select all

c = ExamineDesktops()
For a = 0 To c - 1
  Debug "name : " + DesktopName(a)
  Debug "resolution : " + Str(DesktopResolutionX()) + " " + Str(DesktopResolutionY())
  Debug "scale : " + Str(DesktopScaledX(100)) + " " + Str(DesktopScaledY(100))
  Debug "unscale : " + Str(DesktopUnscaledX(100)) + " " + Str(DesktopUnscaledY(100))
Next
End

It's not "even if DPI aware is unchecked", but "because DPI aware is unchecked"
See remarks in the help.

Try logging out of your account and logging in again. (with DPI enabled)

What I mean is both instances checked and unchecked with DPI aware or not it does not work.

Did... still shows 100. For reference I am using AMD's RX 6700 XT. Is yours a nVidia?

You probably have more than one monitor and your main monitor is set to 100%?
Unfortunately those commands are not really multi-monitor-friendly

nope only 1... when ExamineDesktops() it returns 1.

Hi, akee, in line "resolution : " you must use StrD instead of Str
And check these desktop DPI resolution factors
Scale and Unscale calculated from these values

Thanks Sergey for replying but it is still 1.0.

Does the following code return 96?

Code: Select all

Debug GetDeviceCaps_(GetDC_(0),#LOGPIXELSX)

In the image, the text in the IDE is blurred, which shows that the high DPI setting is not applied to the IDE.
Check the settings in the "Compatibility" section of the "Properties" menu item of the IDE's shortcut icon.

Thanks; I now know that using windows 99.9% of the times to make my neighbors' kids experience the best old games wasn't a waste of time
