HiDPI: Per-Plugin Option for UI-Scaling (Windows)
Hi,
I just got a 4K-Monitor and use it with 150%-Scaling-Mode on a Windows10 computer.
With this windows-screen setting Reaper looks gorgoeus in HighDPI-Mode "aware".
Concerning plugins the situation is different:
- Some plugins do follow the windows setting and look gorgoeus too (FabFilter plugins for example)
- Most plugins do not follow the windows-setting and become unusable small (Waves plugins for example)
As far as I know plugins have to be adapted to follow these relatively new windows-scaling-mechanism. This will not happen for many legacy plugins.
To make these plugins usable in Reaper HiDPI-Mode I think it will be necessary to implement a per-plugin option to pass the windows scaling setting. This should zoom them to the correct size (of course making them look blurry, but usable sized).
I read on other forums this is available on most other daws (Ableton, Studio-One...) Therefore this has to be possible for Reaper too.
Until this option is implemented I have to use Reaper in "unaware"-mode which looks blurry but always gives correct plugin sizing.
