digpz Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 On my laptop with a widescreen (1680x1050) with Paint .NET maximized, the text in the update dialog is truncated in the following way: A newer version of Paint .NET is available. You may click the Install button to download it and install it, or you may click Close to be reminded in several I am running Paint .NET 2.72. By the way, I got the dialog after enabling beta builds but it would probably look like this no matter what type of update it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 He may be running in "Large Fonts" mode. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Probably, maybe. Can't tell without a screenshot. Either way, this bug is a "won't-fix" because 3.0's update UI is brand new.

BoltBait Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I would like to have a few ... uh... "words" with the person responsible for inventing Large Fonts mode.

Rick Brewster Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 We do our UI scaling based on DPI, not font size, so my guess is that digpz is in high-DPI (120dpi) mode.

BoltBait Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Yes, when I said "Large Fonts mode" that is exactly what I was referring to: 120 DPI. Being able to change the DPI of the system causes me more headaches than you can imagine. All of the software that I develop for Intel is localized into 5-15 languages. And, many foreign languages default to 120 DPI mode. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digpz Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 I'll answer the posts from oldest to newest: I'd upload a screenshot but if it's won't-fix, there's not much point... Good guess, Rick. I'm using 120 dpi. I tried switching back to 96 dpi (Normal size) and things get too microscopic for me. And BoltBait, don't be that cruel to the inventor of Large Fonts mode. It really makes things much easier to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 High DPI can also sometimes be useful for people with impaired vision.
