DPI aware?

[Jack]

I have my PI-5 hooked up to a large screen 3840x2160 and changed the default display setting for large screen, I don't know the actual aspect ratio as there were only 3 options, set default for large, medium or small screen
setting the default for large screen works well except for QB64pe, if I change the Font size in pixels from 19 to 21 then the IDE looks ok but the programs display in a tiny window with tiny fonts, same when using $Console:Only
any plans to make QB64pe DPI aware ?

I guess DPI isn't going anywhere.    Forget it! That's life!

Not sure it will meet all of your needs but one solution is to write most of your program output to a canvas layer and put that canvas layer on a scaled up output screen. 
This example code creates a canvas layer that is set to fixed pixel size and a main screen that is 80% of your desktop size. 

Code: (Select All)

Dim Shared canvas&, mscreen&

canvas& = _NewImage(360, 240, 256)

DTW = _DesktopWidth

DTH = _DesktopHeight

mscreen& = _NewImage(DTW * .8, DTH * .8, 256) 'this will make a maiscreen for the program 80% the size of the desktop

Screen mscreen&

_ScreenMove 20, 20

_Dest canvas& 'output to canvas

Print "Hello"

Print "01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789" 'This will wrap becasue 360 is pretty narrow

Print

Print "Press ANY KEY"

_Dest mscreen& 'output to main screen

_PutImage , canvas& 'put the canavas on the screen



Line (0, 0)-(359, 239), 15, B 'this box is drawn on the mainscreem

_PrintString (362, 200), "<--- Box is size of Canavs But Drawn on Mainscreen" 'this message will be vanishingly small on large screens

Sleep

_Dest canvas& 'output to canvas

Cls

Color 14

Print "Hello"

Print "01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789" 'This will wrap becasue 360 is pretty narrow

Print

Print "  Box is size of Canavs, Drawn on Canvas -->"

Print

Print "Press ANY KEY"

Line (0, 0)-(359, 239), 14, B 'this box is drawn on the canvas



_Dest mscreen& 'output to main screen

_PutImage , canvas& 'put the canavas on the screen
