hmm

‪wine has pretty bad high-dpi support but maybe this is fixable…‬

‪also huh this version doesn't like wayland‬

@hikari does anything have good high DPI support? AIUI Apple gets by by faking it, and is hit or miss on non-Apple displays, Linux has multiple different systems that need to be configured separately and not all apps adhere to any of them, and Windows is OK for “modern” apps but a disaster for anything non-modern, which is almost all Windows software.

@h0m54r well, the blurry mess you get post-vista is still better in most cases than the pre-vista (and apparently, wine) behaviour of scaling up the fonts but not scaling some ui elements to match (some apps do get it right but most don't)

@hikari Oh, the latter is my experience of trying to do it in Windows 7

@h0m54r @hikari Windows 10 introduced a new compat scaling mode around version 1809 which scales up (most) text smoothly, and bitmap-scales the rest of UI. Works really well for most legacy applications that don't support high-DPI.

@jernej__s @h0m54r ohh huh! i might have seen screenshots of this before without knowing what it was. that's neat

@hikari @h0m54r If you ever use MMC (Computer Management, Event Viewer, etc.), it's using this mode.
