[paint.net 4.0 alpha build 5143 is now available]

I just fixed this last night. It was a bug that I was procrastinating until Beta.

 

Scott Hanselman also commented about this recently on his blog  http://www.hanselman.com/blog/LivingAHighDPIDesktopLifestyleCanBePainful.aspx

 

Great -- thanks!!

It looks great!

 

I don't know if others have this problem, but the icons in the upper right (tools, history, layers, colors, settings and help) are miniscule -- so small, it's almost impossible to see them.

 

I think it might have to do with resolution and scaling. I'm using Windows 8 on a laptop with a resolution of 3200x1800 on a 13-inch screen. Windows should scale up everything, but either those icons are not being scaled or if they are, they are simply much smaller than the other icons.

 

I can provide a screenshot if it helps.
