Default Reaper 6, Windows 10 and Dpi-Scaling 125%

Hello,
I come from Germany, so my English isn't very good.
But I will try to describe my problem
I use Reaper since version 3.26
Now I have a big problem with the display of version 6.
I use Windows 10 and two Monitors.
The first monitor has a resolution of 1600x900, the second a resolution of 1920x1280.
Both have a Dpi-scaling of 125%.
Now when I start Reaper 6, it is displayed very large.
In Reaper 5 I solved this problem in the settings of Windows as follows.

Right-click the .exe of the app.
Click on Properties.
Click the Compatibility tab.
Under “Settings,” click the Change high DPI settings button. ...
Check the Override system PDI option.
Use the drop-down menu to select the behavior.
Check the DPI scaling override option.

Now the DPI override only took the screen resolution into account, but the menus were larger and easier to read.

But this doesn't work with reaper 6.

Perhaps try using the 75% size option for the panels. Might work.

Check the Preferences/general/advanced UI system tweaks. At the bottom it says 'HiDPI mode' - there are more options there now than in the current release version. Disable any windows compatibility settings, then experiment with these options (you'll probably need to restart reaper each time you change it). There is also a scaling option here, but I suspect you'll find what you need in the 'hidpi mode' menu.

Hello,
Thank you so much for your quick help.
It works with advanced UI system tweaks.
That was already in reaper 5. But I hadn't noticed it yet.
Now I can sleep peacefully again.

greetings
Gerd
