DPI and 4K
Quote from Krakerman on October 24, 2021, 6:53 amVisualNeo Win and 4k displays. I am using a 55" 4k display set at 225% but have to set VNW dpi override to system enhanced for the UI menu text and icons to look better (un-pixelated).
Hopefully this can be fixed in a future update if possible because when creating buttons and you compile your application the button fonts/text is blurry and pixelated until you click the button then it focuses but that only because I have to set VNW to dpi override to system enhanced or else it will be blurry all the time.
Other than that I am truly enjoying the program.
Thanks again

Since VNW is still compiled with a delphi 7 compiler, there is the problem that D7 is from a time where High-DPI and 4K was not existing. So no support for such technology. Current delphi versions does support such things better.
But for known reasons the development is currently stuck with the D7 compiler.
So maybe small improvments can be one, but not a quality full support of High-DPI/4K. Sorry.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm sticking with 125% on a regular HD monitor (my eyesight isn't getting any better). But I also notice blurry text in NEO.
Indeed the best way to deal with this is to carefully choose your font in menus, buttons etc. Or use button images with the highest possible text clarity. Paint.Net will work if you set Text rendering mode to "Sharp (Modern)".
I hope that DPI- Awareness will be part of future WinNEO editions. Just like it is in Visual Studio (although not natively, you need to add a manifest file to accomplish this).
But... NEO is so much more user-friendly :-). A gorgeous program!
