Re: 4k res 'highdpi' file not working

Annotation 2019-10-30 143916.png Ivo, I checked my high dpi settings, I already had them set as you suggest. I ran StarTools without the "highdpi" file and got good results but micro sized as you expected, then I replaced "highdpi", rebooted and ran StarTools again. The screen remained as before wi...

Re: 4k res 'highdpi' file not working

Ivo, I think it's hopeless. I followed the procedure you sent me and downloaded the "High DPI" utility and tried every possible combination of settings. Still doesn't work right. The instructions and the "High DPI" utility that you sent the link for are for older versions of Win10, it even says so i...

Re: 4k res 'highdpi' file not working

Ivo, I learned how to create an extensionless file in notepad by using quotation marks. I pasted it into my "distro" folder but there was no change. Here is a screenshot of my "distro" folder...

Re: 4k res 'highdpi' file not working

Hello Ivo, thank you for your reply. Your 144 dpi example looks very nice. I hope I can figure this out so I can have something similar. I suspect it has to do with the "highdpi" file that I created. If you wouldn't mind, could you tell me the proper way to create one? My default screen resolution i...

Re: 4k res 'highdpi' file not working

I may be barking up the wrong tree... In watching some youtubes, I'm noticing that most displays look like mine. Sorry to complain. The GUI resolution is a little weak though, wouldn't you agree???

Re: 4k res 'highdpi' file not working

Hello, I am new on the forum. This post is particularly interesting to me because I just installed the demo version of StarTools on my high dpi Dell laptop and seem to be experiencing the same problem. The GUI fills my screen, side to side and top to bottom but the text in the icons is so small I ca...
