Per-Monitor DPI Awareness

Post by OlegK »

I have three displays: the primary one is set to 125% scaling, and the two side displays are set to 100%. The app looks perfect on the center display, but it's a bit blurry on the side displays.

I would appreciate a little less eye strain through support for per-monitor DPI scaling. At the same time, I understand that supporting rare configurations like this may require a lot of effort, especially since it's not something you can easily test in a VM.

Anyway, I won't stop using the app because of this minor issue, it's still the best one.

Everything is system DPI aware.
It doesn't support per-monitor DPI yet.

I recommend the following:
Right click your Everything.exe and click Properties.
Click the Compatibility tab.
Click Change high DPI settings.
Check Override high DPI scaling behavior.
Set scaling performed by to: Application.
Click OK.
Click OK.
Adjust your Everything scaling in Everything under Tools -> Options -> UI -> UI Scale.
