Start Menu Errors on High DPI Monitor

Thursday, May 26, 2016 by alphabyte | Discussion: WindowBlinds

I seem to be having issues with the Start Menu, namely the "All Programs" background and the "Log off" button and arrow (see screenshot). As you can see, the "All Programs" background is out of alignment (though it does appear aligned when activated). Also, the "Log off" button and arrow are separated. These errors are not unique to any individual WindowBlind as it happens on all of them on my high DPI monitor (3840x2160). These errors do not appear on my monitors running at lower resolutions (e.g., 1920x1080). Is this is known issue in WindowBlinds or in Windows itself? Is there a workaround? I have tried playing around with the images in SkinStudio (using true center, removing margins and moving things around) but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Running the following:

Windows 7 Enterprise (7601.win7sp1_ldr.160408-2045)
WindowBlinds 10 (014 - Windows 7 Edition) - 64 bit OS

        Wblind.dll                   2016/04/27 12:12:23
        Wblind64.dll                 2016/04/27 12:12:44
        Wbsrv.dll                    2016/03/04 08:54:32
        WB10Config.exe               2016/04/07 07:00:26
        Wbload.dll                   2016/04/27 12:12:18

Looks like you have the text size settings not standard in control panel.

-An HD display doesn't affect a skin this way

Yes, I forgot to mention that I am running font size at 150%. Is this the problem? Any workarounds?

Try it Andrew. I think you will find problems. Some screen res may work and some won't as it really breaks the SM.

Sorry I missed that. Need glasses checked and made a sticky note for my reminder.
