AW: What happens when enabling Hi-DPI scaling?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Sometimes when I don't get any answers on a post, I wonder if the reason
was, that the issue is so exotic, that nobody else has experienced it and
can't help, or that the issue is just so basic, that it is too self-evident
to answer.
I try to ask a more simple question
Do you enable "Hi-DPI scaling" in the standalone settings for windows since
6.7.7 by standard or never? (I can't test the difference myself, not having
a Hi-DPI monitor)
Thanks

Betreff: What happens when enabling Hi-DPI scaling?

Hello,

since LC 6.7.6 or 6.7.7 you can enable Hi-DPI scaling in the standalone
builder settings for windows.

I don't have a Hi-DPI monitor and didn't found anything in the forum about
it, so I am unsure what happens with my stack if I would enable this
setting? What exactly happens when it says "if enabled, the stack will be
scaled to fit"? A Hi-Res monitor has a higher pixel density, but my program
windows and objects have fixed sizes in pixel. My understanding is, if I
don't enable this setting, my stacks will be displayed smaller on a Hi-DPI
monitor? Correct? And enabling this setting, are they scaled to the "same
appearance", as on a standard monitor? Or what happens? If yes, probably
images get blurred, when being scaled, so you shouldn't enable this option
when you use images, correct?

Why is the Hi-DPI support for Windows a chooseable option and for OS X it is
standard since 6.7.6 (6.7.7)? Do images don't get blurred, when the stack is
resized on OS X? Why can't I disable this option on OS X?

How do you handle this option? Do you always enable it?

Thanks for your experiences

Tiemo
