Dialog sizes not changing with dpi setting in control panel/display/advanced settings....

Just got a real nice laptop with 1900 x 1200 display....

Can't change the screen resolution as the lcd display gets real fuzzy if I do that....

Tried changing the dpi settings in control panel from the defaul 96 to 120...

That works for most windows app's but in acad, the text size changes, but the custome objectdcl dialog boxes stay the same size.....

These are older dialog boxes created before opendcl.....

Help!


Thanks! -B

Unfortunately OpenDCL sizes dialog boxes and controls by pixels instead of "logical units".  As long as font sizes are set to "Font Size in Pixels", they will remain proprtionally correct to the controls. I'd like to change OpenDCL in the future to interpret all sizes as logical units (same as "Font Size Scaled to Monitor"), but for now I'm afraid you're stuck with the current design.
