Completely distorted GUI on Windows 10 #252

I am running Windows 10 as a Virtualbox guest. However all other programs work fine, only Helm offers this kind of very distorted GUI:

I can confirm that this is also the case for me on a native install of Windows 10, update 1909.

This has to do with DPI awareness if you change the windows Display preferences Scale and Layout to 100% it resolves this issue. I wonder what the best way to fix this is??

jtommi commented 3 years ago

@DavidsonAudioMulti I can confirm that setting Scale to 100% fixes the UI. Unfortunately not viable for me. I might get a second monitor that would have scaling disabled. For those that don't know where to change that : View display settings in Windows 10

Yeah, you change your scaling to 100%, unfortunately that's not a fix to this, especially for people who can't see tiny text on the screen, and it seems the developers will never fix it.

zmweske commented 2 years ago

I had this problem on windows 10 but it seems to be working at 110% scaling on windows 11 for me, just a heads up to anyone else interested

CRTX commented 2 years ago

Confirmed this is a scaling issue. Having three 4k screens sucks when it comes to using this plugin lol. Setting scaling back to 100% works

karl-police commented 1 year ago

I have the same issue when the scaling setting is something else than 100% I guess. Only when used as a plugin, this doesn't happen if you open the application directly.
