If you open any EM backdrop, for instance, in 10.8 it is still exactly the same.

Maybe create a github issue for this. Its in the changelog, so think the devs thinks its working

Maybe it's a just problem by dmd extensions (dmddevice.dll), it expands the virtual dmd size by a factor 2 (horizontally en vertically) when Windows 11 display scaling is set to 200%.

When resizing the dmd, it looks very blotchy...

 

 

 

Would be great if VPX is made DPI aware and sets DPI to 100% when running Full Screen and returning DPI to the value set in Windows Settings after close.

 

Playing VPX with great pleasure on 4k display in Desktop Mode, and experiencing the same issues as DryBonz,

Yeah...  that would be good. I'm not sure if a recent change to VPX 10.8 may have attempted to fix this issue.

"the application is now 'DPI aware' this means that it can be used with multiple monitors using different DPI settings. This may needs to adjust position of windows on existing installs."

There's also this bug report regarding tiny text in interactive mode which has since been actioned. https://github.com/v...ball/issues/326

Note that the text was moved to the bottom left in that change but has since been reverted back to top left again due to it being obscured when people use a real apron over the top of the playfield.

Bringing this one back from the dead.

 

I am now wanting to make the VP editor easier to see on the monitors on my Pincab. Has a better and easier solution come around that does not require command prompts. I suck at command prompts. I am going to digest the stuff already mentioned and see if I can make it work.

 

I have found that windows display scaling can fix this, but then some backglasses and Pup-packs get jacked up. So I dont want to rely on windows scaling.

 

Thanks.

There's always windows magnifier if you just want to quickly zoom in & out with keyboard shortcuts. Not sure if that's any use to you or not.
