DPI and Scaling

Postby anja_laenge » Wed Dec 02, 2020 6:20 am

Hi,

the attached screenshots illustrate the problem:
while the transition to the next dialog is not completed the controls appear correct,
when the transition is completed the radio button circles are broken;
this also applies to the checkbox in the finish dialog (too small and misplaced).

Most threads regarding DPI awarenes here discuss the image display, viewtopic.php?t=10046 from 2014.

How to fix this?

kind regards
Anja

Which IA version are you using?

There was several improvements on High Dpi side with the latest versions.
Does it look fine without using dialog transition?

The version is X9.
By "transition" I mean the effect of sliding the next dialog window/page into view (in 02.png you can see part of the previous page), how can I disable this?

You can set to NONE the "FX" pre-defined script variable (This has to be set at the very begging of your main setup script).

From IA documentation:
FX: Initially SLIDE. When set to SLIDE, each new setup dialog slides in from the right (when the WIZARD variable is not set to BACK), or the left (when the WIZARD variable is set to BACK), at any time a new setup dialog is being shown. When set to FADE, each new setup dialog pixel-fades in to replace the old, across the entire dialog at once. Set to any other value to disable dialog transition effects. Dialog transitions are not shown when an exiting dialog has been explicitly hidden using the Hide Dialog command, instead of directly showing the entering dialog using the Display Dialog command.

Hi Francesco,

no, it did not help.
Do the improvements of the latest version include handling for HighDPI in combination with scaling?

kind regards
Anja

This screenshot is from a 4k Display with a scaling factor of 250. As you can see, it works fine.
I used X12 to generate the setup package.

You may do a try using the x12 trial.
