Please provide some information like the versions you are using and the log file located at %APPDATA%\EverythingToolbar.log
. Thank you.
For me this only happens when changing the display scaling method while EverythingToolbar is already started. Does the problem persist if you restart EverythingToolbar?

Unfortunately, I still have a problem. Even if you restart the program. I checked on another computer, and there is also a scale of 125% and the same problem with blurred fonts (win 11). However, this problem is not only with your program, but also with many others. But I can solve it if I select dpi parameters for a specific program in the shortcut properties, but this does not work for EverythingToolbar
I installed a clean win 10 on virtualbox, set the scale to 125% and reproduced the problem. Please try it yourself. Thank you for any help!

I can't reproduce the problem in my Windows 10 VM either:
However, this problem is not only with your program, but also with many others.
Could you please name some of those programs so I can see if I have the same problem with those?
I noticed that I can reproduce the problem when I change the DPI settings for EverythingToolbar.Launcher.exe
to non-standard settings. I can reproduce the problem when checking the checkmark Use this setting to fix scaling problems for this program instead of the one in Settings
. So please make sure to UNCHECK this checkmark and report back if the problem persists.
The problem is gone if I use the following settings:
Well, I tried again to perceive the problem.
I created a clean win 10 on virtualbox. Next, I set the scaling to 120% in the settings. Next, I installed Everything and then EverythingToolbar, did not change anything in the settings anymore. And I see this picture.
Content of EverythingToolbar.log is:

With a scaling factor of 120% I can reproduce the blurriness in Windows 10, but not in Windows 11. When you wrote 125%, were you actually referring to 120% as well or were the numbers above accurate?
I am summarizing what I understood so far either from you or from my experiments:
According to my experiments, blurriness occurs when:
Use this setting to fix scaling problems for this program instead of the one in Settings
checkbox in the shortcut settings (Win 10 & 11)From what I understand from you, blurriness occurs when:
Use this setting to fix scaling problems for this program instead of the one in Settings
checkbox (Win 10)How I can get rid of the blurriness:
Use this setting to fix scaling problems for this program instead of the one in Settings
; Launch EverythingToolbarUse this setting to fix scaling problems for this program instead of the one in Settings
; Launch EverythingToolbarWhen you wrote 125%, were you actually referring to 120% as well or were the numbers above accurate?
Yes, I meant 120 (I was wrong initially).
Win 10: Set scaling factor to 125% (not 120%); Uncheck Use this setting to fix scaling problems for this program instead of the one in Settings; Launch EverythingToolbar
Yes, this is a working council. However, I am used to the scale of 120%. Therefore, I would like to find a solution for exactly 120%. Agree, changing the scale for the sake of one program is not a very good way out of the situation.
All other programs that I have on my PC feel great at a scale of 120%, and where blurry fonts are, this is usually corrected by dpi settings for a specific program.
My main workstation is win 10 (120% scale)
I will be very glad and grateful if you find the time and adapt your program to any values of the scale. Thank you in advance!
Sorry for my delayed response. I identified the problem and implemented a simple fix. It will be available in the next release. Thank you for your patience and support!

Problem Description
Hello, thank you for your hard work! I have win 10 and the scaling is set to 125%, because of this, the search box is blurred. I tried to change the dpi settings for EverythingToolbar.Launcher.exe but, unfortunately, this did not give any result.
Please adapt your program to non-standard windows scaling settings, thanks in advance.
