UI scaling on high DPI screens #424

Open drewnoakes opened 6 years ago

drewnoakes commented 6 years ago

The UI is a bit hard to use on high DPI monitors.

Here's a screenshot at 200% scaling on Windows 10.

Notice how the menus and legend are very small.

I don't have a high DPI screen to check, but it seems that Java 9 fixes the too-small menus issue (see here). However, I don't know if this will also affect the main interface, as it is custom-drawn.

If you aren't already using Java 9, installing it may fix the issue.

Thanks.

I was on Java 8. I've just installed Java 10 (which then uninstalled Java 8) but the UI looks the same.

I know it's hard to do anything about this without access to the relevant hardware. I just wanted to report back my findings.

Thanks for your work on this project.
