Resized images dont look good.

[hdwivedi23]

I am building my installer dialogs at 120 dpi (or PixelsPerInch whichever you prefer). All the images look good on my system, but when I run the installer on a machine with lower dpi, images loose their smoothness. specially the one's that have text in it.

The same images are displayed on my application as well and they look fine on lower dpi systems.

Is there a a way to improve the quality of images displayed by installer on on lower dpi systems? I would appreciate any help in this matter.

Dear User,

InstallAware does not control or manipulate the images used with the dialogs in any way.
Any image rendering operation is directly controlled by the OS (the Windows graphics device interface engine) and of course system settings as screen resolution, are influencing factors.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to have an identical image that looks nice with any possible system resolution.

Anyway, it is always better to work with a lower resolution system as 96 dpi (default DPI scale setting in Windows) ... generally, images are then adapted much more better when used on system that uses an higher resolution.

Otherwise, the only option is to create several dialogs (with several image resources as well) for each possible target.

Hope this helps you.

Regards
