Hi all, I just added high-dpi awareness to the Win64 manifest. It makes all the icons pretty tiny on my system, but I think it's a step in the right direction. :)

This makes Inkscape look pretty nice on a 4k monitor. See http://i.imgur.com/K1YPOQY.png Some things are suboptimal: many text entry boxes are too short, size of mouse cursors and object handles, tolerance on gridline grabbing, ...). But Inkscape is quite usable on high dpi. Note that our own icons look great compared to stock GTK2 icons. Great job on that guys! Gtk3 should have better high-dpi support, have not tested that yet with a recent Gtk3 version. To use the high-dpi theme: - delete inkscape\share\themes\MS-Windows\gtk-2.0\gtkrc - rename inkscape\share\themes\MS-Windows\gtk-2.0\gtkrc-hidpi to gtkrc

I take the subject to ask where the entry boxes dimensions are set or hard coded ? Because in a daily use, the default width is really too small. Yann. 2014-12-11 0:02 GMT+01:00 Jon A.
