Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi everyone,

I have just bought a new laptop with a high resolution screen, 3200x1800 pixels across 13.3" diagonal. This gives a ppi of 276, much higher than the standard 96ppi.

In order that everything on the screen isn't rendered to a third of the size it should be, Windows has a scaling function under display settings, which I currently have set at 200%. For most programs, this works well, but in Grasshopper, this is what I get...

Remember that this is not a big screen! Only a small laptop...

What seems to be happening is that fonts are scaling up correctly. However, everything else is remaining at 96ppi, meaning all of the menus and buttons are tiny! Also, because the fonts are scaling up, the fonts now look enormous relative to the components.

This is rather irritating, as at a normal viewing distance things like the icons are almost indistinguishable. 

Normally, I would accept that I was the one being weird as I had bought a laptop with high resolution, but shopping in PC World, it seems most mid- and high-end laptops now have high resolution screens. I'm aware that there is no quick fix for this, likely needing a substantial rewrite of the interface, but given current development for GH2, this might be something to bear in mind if it's not too late...
