Dynamo UI is blurry on multi-monitor systems with mixed monitor DPIs #9581

Open Dewb opened 5 years ago

Dewb commented 5 years ago

As a WPF application, Dynamo is by default "system DPI aware", but is not "per-monitor DPI aware." This means that on a system with multiple monitors not all set to the same DPI, Dynamo text and other elements can look blurry. To fix this, apps need to implement the Per-Monitor V1 or V2 API.

Dynamo appears blurry even if all monitors are set to 125% DPI, so I'm not totally certain it's even handling system DPI awareness correctly.
