Support High DPI settings (MacBook Pro Retina and other high resolution laptops)

I'm running MacBook Retina -> Parallels -> Windows 8.1 -> Visual Studio 2013
I have Parallels / Windows set to run at native resolution (2880x1800) and 200% DPI.
There are several areas that don't render at the correct size (it's too small):

• 
  
• The top part of the configuration window (the bottom properties part renders correctly
  
• Icons on the NCrunch tests window
  
• Test list test names / results
  
• Setup wizard dialogs render controls / wrapping oddly
  

Whilst this is particularly a problem for my use case (a bunch of colleagues also use the same setup), this is likely to also cause problems with some of the upcoming laptops from PC manufacturers e.g. the 2013 laptops from Dell.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this. The UI of NCrunch has been rebuilt as part of the upcoming V2 release, including high DPI support. A beta version of V2 is currently expected sometime within the next few weeks.


Cheers,

Oh cool! I look forward to it.

Hi,

there are HiDPI UI Issues in the Current NCrunch Version. The Symbol-Icons in the Toolar of the NCrunch Tests Windows are scaled to much.

It's a 5K Screen.

In the other Windows the Icons are still ugly :) and too big, but they fit in the toolbar.

Hi, that really doesn't look right. Thanks for sharing this.

Can you just confirm which DPI you're working in? (percentage-wise)


Thanks!

5120x2880 with Extra Large, 200% on Windows 8.1 with Update

Great, thanks! I'll see about getting this one fixed.

For anyone suffering with this problem, there is an early build of NCrunch 2.11 available that contains a fix for this - http://blog.ncrunch.net/post/Engine-Separation-and-VS2015-Integration.aspx.

Not overlapping anymore, but button buttons in the toolbar still 2x larger than normal.

It's possible that this is by design. 200% DPI enlarges all text and visual elements by 200%, so in theory the NCrunch toolbar should be twice normal size.

The easiest way to see whether this is correct is by comparing the size of the toolbar buttons to the other text in the window. The size should be proportional as the scaling for both the text and the buttons should be the same.

Unfortunately NCrunch's image resources don't yet have the resolution to handle 200% scaling particularly well.. so at the moment they don't look as pretty as they should.

Actual Picture. By Design or not, NCrunch is making it wrong

Yes - this is too big. I've just measured it and its about 80% larger than it should be. Sorry. I'll see what I can do about this in the next build.

If you need more info, a remote session, or running a little test programm ... i'm here

Fixed ;)

Great! Thanks :)
