Installer UI Scaling Problem on High DPI Screen

Tue Aug 17, 2021 12:12 pm

I've just tried running our installer on my new laptop which has a 4k screen and as such it uses high DPI scaling. Unfortunately it seems that the Advanced Installer UI is not setting the font size correctly. I have tried playing around with the scaling options in the Settings Tab for the theme but none of the selections seem to be making any difference.

Is there an option I am missing?

Many thanks,

Damien

Hello Damien,

Every dialog is displayed just like the one from your screenshot, or that issue is particular to that dialog only?

Regarding the options from the "Settings" tab, you should make sure the following options are enabled:

- "Use Enhanced User Interface" --> "Always"

- "Image Scaling" --> "Adaptive stretching, based on detected system DPI"

- perform a "Rebuild" (not a "Build") and retest the setup
