Bad UI display on Windows with a display scaling other than 100

Hi Istonia and good morning!

I'm running your latest NVIL versions,
that is NVil-Sep-17-16 up to NVil-Sep-27-16.

What about the issue of having bad font scale and bad display of NVIL's UI
on Windows system with a scaling level display other than 100% ?

I need this display scaling level because of my full HD resolution of my 17'' laptop
and a big second monitor that I use,
in order to better read text and other small things...

It's a very annoying thing to have the NVIL's UI displayed in that messy way.

Here's a screenshot : http://take.ms/Jm9QL

I'm confident that you will fix this issues in next versions.

Thanks and have a nice day.

How did you scale the UI?

How did you scale the UI?

I scaled with the standard Windows's Control Panel, therefore nothing exotic...

Here's a post of the screenshot of my Windows 8.1 pro display settings :

Not seeing the issue on win7-64, have set display (scaled) to 125%, and still looking correct on default UI.

Hi steve,

Thank you for the attempt of help me, much appreciated.

But...how can you say that a scaling level of 125% can solve my problems ?
I have Win 8.1 pro 64 bit. Have you tried your suggestion with that O.S. ?

I can say you that I tried but without success.

Well...I don't know what to think...

But maybe I have found a possible cause of this issue, but only NVIL team can safely say it.

Well...I noticed that if I use NVIL with Visual Tools Window closed by default,
and after I open that window, then the UI looks bad.

While if I start NVIL with the Visual Tools Window already opened by default, its UI is displayed correctly!!

What do you think Istonia?

Nice day!

Hi istonia,

While if I start NVIL with the Visual Tools Window already opened by default, its UI is displayed correctly, even if I have a have Windows with the scalings set to my default of 120% !!

What do you think ?

Nice day!

I did not say that.

I will not go near that buggy O.S.

You are right steve, I'm sorry.

I have copy/past wrong block of text from another reply I was writing!

I apologize again.

> "I will not go near that buggy O.S."

8.1 pro 64bit is not so bad but anyway because of some software I use, I cannot switch to Windows 10,
and frankly I don't trust in any new Windows O.S. before at leat 3 years are over...

Nice day,

I just don't know how to fix it.
