I have a screen with many gadgets and a drawing on canvas gadget created for a resolution of 1360x768, how can I rescale this to a resolution of 1920x1080.
Do I have to calculate the size, position and text for each gadget, or is there an easier way?

If you use the dialog library, the gadgets can resize themselves automatically based on the size of the window.

Yes.

There are other ways to do it but they don't necessarily merit the adjective easier unfortunately. There are a couple of examples of resize handlers elsewhere on the forum, see https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=82349 or https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewto ... 0&p=544901, for example.

The dialog library creates user interfaces with automatic layout characteristics, see https://www.purebasic.com/documentation ... index.html. However, converting a large interface over from the window library to the dialog library instead is not a trivial task.

Module from me with font and image scaling ...

thanks,
it seems more complicated than I thought.
Maybe better to make 2 layout for 2 screen resolutions
