MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Musicbee latest unusable on new high-dpi Windows laptop

It's hard to believe that every application is supposed to be re-written to work on a high density display.

From the article you linked to:

If applications don’t handle high DPI, Windows will scale them for the user.

Seems like there might be a Windows display setting somewhere that should handle this for you.

That automatic scaling capability works on some applications, but not on others. Musicbee unfortunately is in the latter category.

MusicBee Wishlist / Musicbee latest unusable on new high-dpi Windows laptop

« on: March 19, 2014, 03:40:15 PM »

On my new Samsung ATIV Book 9 Plus, which has a 13 inch display with 3200x1800 resolution (that's about 250dpi, more than twice the dpi of most screens), every component of Musicbee's interface is unusably tiny.  Checkboxes are about 2mm high. Interface text is about the same size. (Text size is adjustable in the preferences, but when increased, text interface elements overflow the boundaries of their containing elements and are clipped.)

This laptop runs Windows 8.1, which has introduced new features to support these high-dpi displays: applications are now required to support 200% scaling (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn457649(v=vs.85).aspx), and there are new APIs for this. There's also support for per-monitor scaling.

So... any chance that  high-dpi support can be added to Musicbee sometime soon, so that it works properly on modern laptops (and on the 4K monitors that are becoming available)?

Best,
Richard
