Enhancement: High DPI display support for client. #67

Closed demifiend9 closed 2 years ago

demifiend9 commented 2 years ago

My device has high resolution display with 200% scaling.

This is how client looks normally no

If I go to properties>compatibility>change high dpi>override display scaling by Application it looks much better, but server and service logs aren't readable. yes

Client logs however look great yess

So this was a very strange issue brought to you by Microsoft Bug Studio, where if I change displays (Remoted into from laptop in another room, not unusual), a forced desktop rescale would cause Forms Designer to rescale my Forms for me, and totally messed up the GUI yesterday. What you see now is a few hours of resetting sizes, paddings, and margins on all of the controls. What a nightmare. Interior padding (Mind you, these values were never modified by my hands) had some 9x13 value, and this would cause the full-size textbox to wrap out of view. Thanks for the catch! I had to change my own scaling settings to see this... I will push a fix build to this soon!

New build uploaded to fix the bug. I will consider looking into responding to scaling changes, though I have a feeling that much of that is a flaw with Forms integration in to .NET Core, or just the fact that Forms is a bit outdated. I'm sure I will be bored enough at work to do this research someday soon, lol.

Found a method today that .NET Core uses to set WinForms DPI modes. I have enabled what looks to be the best option for this setting, the next build may look different for you! I am not high-res and unfortunately do not have the grounds for testing.

I'd be happy to test although I'm not sure if there's anything to improve in this regard. The last few versions already look perfect. The only thing is I had to turn on application scaling by going to compatibility settings which should be on by default.

I wanna pop a post here at @demifiend9 , Just to see if the latest build doesn't make or break something related to this?

demifiend9 commented 2 years ago

It looks great by default! No problems related to this.
