Notifications: [Mac IDE] Make the automatic DPI Override popup more likely to appear #7851

Open caroparo opened 3 weeks ago

caroparo commented 3 weeks ago

Is your feature request related to a problem?

There used to be an auto DPI override settings (or popup dialog?) on the top-right corner of the IDE, so users who have DPI display issues (not being able to see the "apply" button on the general settings panel) can easily toggle DPI overrides. Please add this feature back.

It happens quite often on Mac laptops.

Describe the solution you'd like

Easy DPI override options.

Confirmed that the popup is still there - however, it will only appear if the DPI has been overridden in Preferences already and the value set is greater than the max suggested when GM does its calculation on startup (the feature to this point has been a safety net for users setting bad values themselves, not a suggested automatic DPI changer).

We obviously don't have your ui.log attached here to confirm what those settings are for you right now, so I can't say whether the dialog should have appeared or not, but I have changed the wording of this issue as we could definitely consider showing the popup a lot more often and so help Mac IDE users, as you say.
