mikroProg Suite is unusable at high DPI

[ilferrari]

mikroProg Suite does not display properly with Windows high DPI settings, it's unusable. Using windows 7 x64, software v2.34

hi, anything? in case it's not clear:

1. set windows scaling to 125%
2. start program
3. open "config" panel
4. open "mcu info" panel - panel is wrong size
5. close "config" panel - panel is lost

Hi,

Currently, our software is optimized for displays with DPI set to 100%.

But I try with 125% DPI in combination with resolution of 2560x1440 (before it was 1920x1080).
I recommend this combination if you want to keep 125% DPI.
Many factors influence on this,such as the size of the monitor and graphic card.

Regards,
Nadir

Hi Nadir

This is a bug, not an "optimization" for 96ppi. Don't tell me to change my monitor to 2560x1440. It's 2016 and your software should support high resolution displays.

Hello,

We all agree this issue has been something our team will have to work on.

In the meantime, my colleague Nadir suggested a workaround that might be helpful in your case as well.

At the moment, DPI set to 100% is recommended. The issue you mentioned is reported and will be handled by our developers.

Best regards,
Biljana

Hi @ilferrari,

I have answered you on the e-mail,
I suggest to continue our correspondence there.

Hi Nadir, sorry for the delayed response. The new exe works fine (tested on Win 10 with scaling disabled, as in Win 7). Thanks

Hi,

You're welcome, I'm glad it was helpful.

The bug is still there in the March 2017 release. What's the point of fixing a bug and not releasing it?

[ilferrari]

Not fixed in new version 2.60.

It's one year since this bug was reported.

The same mistake was made in yesterday's PIC32 release:
