4K screen resolution, 125/150% scaling looks bad #1069

Closed dalathegreat closed 6 years ago

I recently switched to a 4K monitor, and when applying scaling as one does with so high resolution, it breaks the wallet text slightly.

Is there some easy way to get QT to behave better with 4K+scaling?

G-UK commented 6 years ago

If you are on Windows I have found that Scaling is best tweaked using applications compatibility options, the Gridcoin client seems to work best when set to "System".

The upcoming rebranding should help with this as well. Here's a screenshot of one of my testnet clients on a 4k Screen with Windows Scaling set to 250% and compatibility DPI scaling (as shown above) set to System.

It looks like the DPI was applied only some parts of the interface. All widget sizes and some text was not adjusted to DPI, and thus broke the interface. This is either bug in Qt or our stylesheets. The stylesheets were changed massively in dev version. If you can, try staging/testnet wallet from @barton2526, and report results. If not, then please keep this open until official release.

I tried @G-UK 's suggestion, it worked perfectly! Shall we keep it open until the next release drops? I cannot use testnet wallet atm.

Tested with the new 3.7.12.0 release, which has the new UI. I can confirm that the wallet now scales correctly on 4K+175% scaling 👍
