wysocki Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I bought a new Lenovo laptop and everything on the display is pretty hard for me to read, so I adjusted the display settings to 125% (which it shows as "Recommended"). But with this setting above 100%, an Autoit GUI that I created is messed up. The buttons are oversized for the dialog box and placed too far down and right. Anyone else have this issue, and is there a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wysocki Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 Thanks so much for the tip. I found this bit of code that I added just before defining the GUI and it works perfectly! ;Make gui DPI AWARE... If @OSVersion = 'WIN_10' Then DllCall("User32.dll", "bool", "SetProcessDpiAwarenessContext" , "HWND", "DPI_AWARENESS_CONTEXT" -2) If @OSVersion = 'WIN_81' Then DllCall("User32.dll", "bool", "SetProcessDPIAware") dinodod and hudsonhock 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if I also needed the new beta autoitwrapper but I have that too... Now here is the next question.... Will this confuse the app on low res monitors? do I need separate versions now?
