Bigger screens, more resolution, users can't read the data

Post by atostaine »

New monitors coming in 31xx X 19xx. Of course, VLF-WIN doesn't increase font size when you expand the size of the window.

Anyone dealt with this? I wish Windows 10 could zoom only one application but I can't find that anywhere. Could the Framework have a setting for a zoom?

that is a good question... I will imagine if I get a 31xx monitor, it will be 4 times the size of my 27" monitor, so probably a 54" monitor with that resolution? If I get that resolution, the idea behind will be to have more things in the screen, not the same with better curves, so when you maximize your application, you can accommodate more windows in VLF WIN, so, it wont make sense to make the font larger.

saying so, I can see some users having that resolution in an smaller monitor, so they need their 31xx to act like a 1920... for that case, a larger font may do the trick, you could change the visual style on the fly and to use one with a larger font https://docs.lansa.com/14/en/lansa048/c ... 8_5675.htm

Thanks Dino. But marginleft and width properties remain the same when you increase the font, correct?

Hey Art,

We have had the same problem here.
With VLF-WIN, on the users computer > right click the application Icon and go to "Compatibility". Under Compatiblity, there is a button that says something like "Change DPI Settings" > click that button. There is an option that allows you to change from System or Application. One of those options is your ticket!

Best,
