[SOLVED] Code::Blocks 17.12 blurry text on Windows

(1/4) > >>

aGerman:
I use Code::Blocks for years and I really like it. Today I updated to version 17.12 on my Windows 10 notebook. While the text in the title bar is still absolutely clear text inside of the window (menu items, manager, code in the editor, logs, status bar, ...) is fuzzy.
No such problems using version 16.01, no such problems in any other application. ClearType is activated (by default).
Is there any setting in Code::Blocks that I'm missing?

Tomorrow I'll have the opportunity to test on Windows 7. I'll get back with the information if version 17.12 behaves the same on that machine.

Is your monitor high DPI?

aGerman:
I don't think so, Tim.
It's a small 10" display (also usable as tablet touch screen) with a resolution of 1366 x 768 which makes this issue even worse ;) However the settings for font type, font size, and zoom are the same as I used for version 16.01 which I right now use for comparisons because I have it backed up. And as I said only Code::Blocks is affected.

Thanks

oBFusCATed:
The dpi of this machine is 156, so it is definitely high dpi (1.5 scaling factor).
At the moment cb doesn't support proper scaling and it is set to be blurry on such monitors to prevent everything becoming too tiny.

aGerman:
Thank you for your reply!
Since you obviously decided to change this behavior with the latest update you definitly force me to return to 16.01. What a shame  :(
