Adventures in 4K

[mcbpete]

After a decade of intense use I've finally got round retiring my humble lappy and get a new one to hopefully last me as long. It's got the new fangled Geforce RTX 2080 graphics card in it and natively runs everything in 4k. So far so snazzy - However day two of migrating everything over from my old machine and of course Buzz takes highest priority!

All started so promising with the Machine View working perfectly, including the parameter views and all menus:



Next we've the pattern view, everything at the top (the newer sequencer view) is a-ok but the main editor is a bit ... yikes:



And finally the Sequence View, which despite my eyesight normally being pretty good ... it's a little, well small is not the word :



The system scaling is on 200% so essentially all the Windows UI elements are 'stretched' to effectively HD resolution (1920x1080) but I'm guessing as neither the pattern view or sequencer view uses WPF then it's not scaling things as required ?

Any hints or successes in getting Buzz to work fully in 4k resolutions ?

set scaling to 100%... hope you have a big enough screen hehe

Alas it's a 17 inch laptop ... looks like I'm gonna have to up my prescription



I might just run my laptop at 1920x1080 ... so few apps seems to be 4k compatible at the moment

Aha, looks like I've found a fix.... For anyone else having issues running Buzz at such a resolution:

Find the buzz.exe in explorer
Right click -> Properties
Go to the Compatibility tab
Click 'Change settings to for all users' (right at the bottom)
Click 'Change high DPI settings'
Tick both Program DPI and High DPI scaling override
On the 'High DPI scaling override' dropdown choose 'System' (not 'System (Enhanced)' as that messes up the WPF parts of the UI)

Everything should now be properly scaled and readable !
