HiDPI support

[mstrap]

Please provide support for HiDPI monitors. Currently, the icons are tiny which makes clicking e.g. toolbar buttons hard and in general makes AS look somewhat strange. A simple fix should be to just set dpiAware to false:

Of course it would be great to have AS coming with a separate high-resolution icon set, too

We are working on it, including new vector icons.

Hi, is there a rough timeline for this feature? Thanks

[Jan Rysavy]

It is not finished yet, we have no time estimation right now.

Please do it, at least icons adjust size for toolbar and panel items

As an interim measure you can create an external manifest for Salamander that specifies dpiAware as False. That, along with a registry setting that specifies external manifests take preference over internal manifests, has saved my eyesight on a high DPI monitor.

Cheers,

Hi, my solution is to right-click the shortcut, go to Properties window, Compatibility tab and select "System" under "Override high DPI scaling behavior." "System (Enhanced)" looks much better, but it brokes UI of TortoiseGit when used from within Salamander.

I'm using AS 3.0.8 on a 4k-monitor with 200% scaling and don't have major problems with that, so for me it has no high priority.

Thank you for the hint, it's also better on my Huawei MateBook detachable, but icons etc are still quite small for touch operation.

BTW, related posts are Tiny Toolbar Icons on Surface3 screen and Icon size not DPI-aware

This, for me, is a major deal breaker. Have been a customer for many years and would happily pay for a new, DPI aware version. But sick of waiting. So moving on to Directory Opus. Bye Altap Salamander.
