High dpi fixes for Screenshot Captor are almost complete....
I think I will have a fix for this soon.
Ok I am making some progress on improving SC for use on high-dpi monitors; options look a lot more readable as does text.
Need to do a little more tweaking though for some oddities, and need to scale up the button images.
Microsoft will push an update to windows 10 soon that promises to fix some of the high DPI scaling issues, that might fix the issues for users that are up to date with their windows installations. More info here
The other major thing I am considering for FARR 3 is a revamp of the plugin engine.
I was thinking of adding native python plugin support, and making that the new recommended plugin language going forward.
The consequences would be:
1. Easier to write plugins -- no more need to build a dll, just a single-file standard python script file (.py) will work fine. And I will simplify the API to use fewer and less finicky functions.
2. Old plugins would still be supported, but the new python plugin engine will be the recommended approach for anything but plugins that really need native dll speed.
3. The largest drawback would be that it would probably add a megabyte or so to the executable size of FARR, and I have to check what it would do to memory use. This is my only real concern. I'll post more info about this after some experimentation.
Ok I will endeavor to get out an update this week, and get back into the swing of more regular updates. Promise!Sounds great !!!!
If you go into the font override options tab and set the flag to use your custom font overrides and then change the fonts to something like Arial, is there any improvement or is it still blurry?no improvement, of course if you take a pixel font it will look sharp because there is no anti-aliasing to begin with...
If you exit FARR and then create a new shortcut to FARR but right-click on the shortcut property and in compatibility tab tell it to disable scaling, any improvement?Seems like the font is much nicer, looks retina to me, BUT, the other elements are not scaled properly, some tweaking can be done... like increasing the editbox height, result height, ... but maybe there are some tweaking to do on your side ?
