Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe (REQUIRED):
Yes. Windows dpi settings automatically scale defold applications based on the scaling option in the windows display settings.
Currently, if I am on a larger monitor and set my dpi scaling to say 125%, then my windowed defold application will be scaled by that amount.
For most applications this makes sense, however it is standard practice (and possible with Unity as a benchmark, if that matters) to ignore this functionality for things like games. A user that selects a resolution in a game, expects the game to run in that resolution - not a blurry scaled version of it
Describe the solution you'd like (REQUIRED):
Toggable option in project settings that toggles the dpiAware manifest setting as explained here when the application is built. I'm not sure about how defold works at a lower level, and I've never dealt with things at this layer myself, so I am not sure how feasible this is, but I'd assume something like this is possible.
Describe alternatives you've considered (REQUIRED):
N/A
