Toolbar icons and DPI scaling

[douglangille]

I'm using a laptop that requires DPI scaling. The icons on the toolbar do not scale and look teeny-tiny.

Computer: Dell Latitude 5285
Physical resolution: 1920x1280
Scaling: 150% (Microsoft-recommended setting)

@douglangille Can you also try Notepad2 from https://github.com/zufuliu/notepad2/releases?

@douglangille:

1. What version of Notepad3 are you using?
2. Have you tried toggling the "HighDPI Toolbar" setting under the Tools menu?

@douglangille
This issue XhmikosR/notepad2-mod#175 may help to get better experience on High DIP monitor.

@zufuliu

• issue exists in Notepad2 and the fix you linked to probably would help
  @craigo-

1. using the latest released build.
2. View | HighDPI Toolbar is indeed a suitable workaround, though this should probably be automagic.

Thanks for your help folks.

Hello @RaiKoHoff , @douglangille

After a test with a "Display scaling to 150%", I confirm that now the "Icons bar" is scaled too! 👍 😄

Tested with : Notepad3 (64-bit) X_MUI v4.18.802.1034
Issue corrected. 👍 ❤️
As far as I am concerned, this issue may be stay closed....

[RaiKoHoff]

@hpwamr : The Text Font Scaling (line numbering and document text) will been changed too - tests are appreciated 😉

[hpwamr]

@RaiKoHoff It seems that all areas are changing correctly. 😉

DPI 100%

DPI 125%

DPI 150%

DPI 175%

[RaiKoHoff]

@hpwamr : 👍 , did you check Help dialog and Bookmark & Folding Margin area too?
(Latest beta is _X_MUI_4.18.802.1035 😉 )

[hpwamr]

@RaiKoHoff , Tested with : Notepad3 (64-bit) X_MUI v4.18.802.1035 - with DPI 150%

• All functions seems to work correctly.

• Dialog box of "Customize Schemes" is lightly perturbed (but acceptable)

About box: to show correctly a user Sign Out is needed.

• a part of the text is claiming a "log_out/Log_in" to reflect the correct scaling
• position of NP3 icon is not correct

Regarding DPI Awareness of current development beta version _TinyExpr_4.18.820.1062:
The Toolbar icons are scaled too, regardless which ones (normal or HighDPI icons).
Maybe it would make sense to scale the HigDPI icons only if a certain DPI value is exceeded?
Suggestions?

[zufuliu]

@RaiKoHoff Notepad2 only has one lower DPI toolbar image, so I have no choice.
I think you need chose the HighDPI image to scale up or down when current DPI is above some threshold. You can hard-coded g_uCurrentDPI to some value and see the resize result.

[RaiKoHoff]

A special behavior for DPI scaling of HighDPI toolbar is implemented:
The HighDPI toolbar is not scaled (to avoid blurry effects from aliasing due to scaled rendering) until a certain threshold (144 = 3/2 of std. DPI (96)) is exceeded - then, the HighDPI is scaled too, which causes a "sizing jump" of the toolbar on small step (144 -> 145 DPI).
