Hi Guys,

have you come across situation where as per subj ncrunch is blurred in all the windows. on scaled monitor. Please see screenshot of VS2022 text on the left side compared to ncunrch windows right and bottom. Not a showstopper, but unpleasant :)

it's more noticable if you download the image.


Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel, thanks for sharing this.

This would likely be because the NCrunch UI is built on the old winforms system, which unfortunately never scales as nicely under high DPI as the newer WPF stuff.

I would recommend having a look at the NCrunch UI font settings, as you might find a font or point size that doesn't look as blurry and fits in a bit better with the rest of your VS UI.

Unfortunately to fix this problem properly we'd need to rebuild most of the NCrunch UI, which is not a small task (and is why this hasn't happened yet).

Thanks Remco,

Would make sense to look into this, too keep fresh modern look though.

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Remco,

did you check https://docs.microsoft.c...upport-in-windows-forms already? Windows Forms has been improved in that area - my app looks quite ok on screens with different DPI settings at least. But I don't know if this can be applied to Visual Studio extensions, too.

Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

We've had a range of issues with the winforms rendering on setups that have screens with different DPI scaling settings. VS also has some custom things that it does which seem to complicate things in this area. We do our best, but sadly there are no easy fixes here.
