Broken UI on high DPI screen in v2.3.50.0

A very fast reply!
Might not related, but this is my current environment:

• Windows 10 22H2, x64
• Dual screens, primary is 1440p 150%, secondary is 1080p 100%
• Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics, driver version 23.5.2

I've done a very quick fix, by simply not calling this line of code anymore:

WindowsFormsSettings.ForceDirectXPaint();

(See DX documentation)

I've just published a new setup with this change.

Could you please take a look and give it a try whether things improve/change/worsen by this?

[Tennyleaz]

Wow you fixed it! Thank you!
Just tested, cannot see any other obvious error.

Another question is that, font in ZRE is not very sharp on higher DPI. Is this a feature or design limitation?

Found out I checked "Override high DPI scaling behavior" box for ZetaResourceEditor.exe to "System (Enhanced)".
It was my fault 😅

Thanks for reporting! Ironically, I've made the latest changes solely to support High DPI screens.

On my daily development machine I do have a High DPI screen myself, setting to 150% scale.

While I do not get the erroneous display as in your screenshot, I might suspect that the DevExpress UI components I'm using are doing some DirectX stuff in the background, thus generating the errors you see.

I'll try to see whether I can disable DirectX support altogether.

Another issue might be the non-western characters like Chinese or Korean that I did not test with.

This is how it looks on my 150% display:

It seems to be somewhat sharper than in your screenshot.

Honestly, I have no idea why this behaves so differently.

The application uses "Segoe UI" font.

On my Windows 11 system, I have these one installed:

Maybe your system has fewer "versions" of Segoe UI installed thus picking another one than on my system?

Or maybe Windows 10 renders Zeta Resource Editor different than Windows 11?
