[issue] autoit high dpi blurriness, fuzziness in gui

[simplercoder000]

Hi there,

I'm facing this issue where my GUI app gets blurriness/fuzziness controls.

My screen size are big so I'm enforced to up-scale my display text to 150% so I can view things normally.

 

The same issue has been reported as bug here: https://www.autoitscript.com/trac/autoit/ticket/3238

But this issue seems like still unsolved until today.

 

I have been searching in the forum for a while, and I have found this:

 

I have tried this script, but I'm still facing the same issue.

I have even tried adding the High DPI feature into my script but that's also didn't work

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_HiDpi

 

Example GUI:

Quote

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 220, 172, 195, 124)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 32, 112, 75, 33)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button2", 114, 112, 75, 33)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input1", 48, 72, 121, 21)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Autoit are awesome !", 64, 24, 103, 17)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

I'm running on Windows 7 x64

I don't know how did I miss this thread, maybe I haven't search well, thank you!

 

The High DPI issue must be treated as serious problem since not all users have the same screen sizes.

I say this because I even notice that some internal AutoIt tools like Koda (Form Designer) or AutoIt3Wrapper GUI has the HiDPI issues.

before you settle for what you've found, please try 

and let me know. Thanks

Here's my result:

Added 60 items to the list
Screen Dimensions: 1280 x 800
Listview Dimensions: 19382 x 19
Calculated GUI size: 640 x 360
OS: WIN_7

...but how does it look ?, the code in the 1st post.

[argumentum]

for example, this is the way it looks in each of my 2 monitors:

placed one on top of the other. 100% and 225%. Even if you have one in Win7.

And, sorry, I meant the one here at this post ( https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/210604-tester-needed/#comment-1522028 ) not the first one. My bad.

@argumentum

I tried it and doesn't shows any GUI windows.

The output also doesn't prints any errors.

[argumentum]

ok then. Your solution was the best for your setup, that unfortunately I don't have ( one of those ) to try out. Thanks @simplercoder000

I have solved the issue by combining HiDPI_Changes.au3 UDF by @Jos with @InnI method to get current value of DPI

That resulted in getting a correctly working GUI with High DPI support and without any issues.

Thanks @argumentum for helping me.
