That is correct. You enable it with the manifest and then you handle the scaling in the application code. > something assumes Pixels or DIP incorrectly. These are exactly the types of problems legacy applications run into. They will cont

It is not a trivial change to make the application DPI ware as it is a coding exercise (starting with that manifest change). https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/d... Marking the app DPI

by jussij 5y ago
At a minimum, for a Win32 application to work correctly with HiDPI it needs to tell the OS it is DPI aware. This is done by marking the application DPI aware using the settings found in the manifest file. The manifest file is then embedded

Is Windows 10 really that good? It's been some time now, but I still remember the first time I upgraded away from Windows 7 and feeling disappointed. Since then my hardware is massively more powerful, but I'm still to be convinced

I'm sure the UK voting to remove itself from the rest of Europe with the 2016 Brexit referendum hasn't helped the situation. One of the big selling points of Brexit was the promise of stronger UK borders. Brexit has certainly deli

Surely since you agree normalization helps to 'reduces/eliminates update anomalies' then that also means it's going to reduce the chance of data corruption? Also what type of software design and development is not based

If choose to organize your data using a relational model and then choose not to normalize that relational design you're doing it wrong. Some of the benefits you get by doing proper normalized include: * Avoids repetitive entries and du

by jussij 5y ago
While that is very true, it doesn't deter from the fact good relational database design relies on the design being well normalized. By skipping the normalization steps you end up with a design that is far from optimal.

If Australia and the rest of the world continues to rely on coal as it's main source of baseload power then I suspect we are all doomed. No amount of economic wealth is going to help once the environment has been damaged beyond repair.
