Squall-Leonhart Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Rafi posted back in 2016 that utorrent was blurry under windows 10, now that there is a fix for it (Set high dpi scaling override to Application) this value is reset each time utorrent starts Application developers should not be F$^$% with my compatibility overrides. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Why do you need this setting, are you sure it is fixing the issue with uT? I don't see it "blurry" for a long time now after setting to 125% font scaling, using this fix - http://windows10_dpi_blurry_fix.xpexplorer.com/ and some adjustment to the colors in Windows.

PiusX Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 I think you got video driver issues that aren't related to utorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does resolve DPI scaling blur on text and glyphs in the window, without having to modify system behaviours using third party tools This compatibility setting simulates XP style dpi scaling on a per application basis Quote Compatibility Properties Right-clicking on an application executable lets you open its Properties window. On its Compatibility tab, you can force any desired per-application scaling method under “Override high DPI scaling behavior.” When unchecked Windows will apply DPI virtualization unless the application claims to self-scale, in which case Windows will do nothing. When checked you have three choices, as shown below: Application — Disables DPI virtualization (or any other system scaling) and requires the application to scale itself correctly. Try this when an application appears blurry. If it now renders correctly, the developer merely forgot to flag the application as self-scaling. System — Enables full DPI virtualization of all display output of the application. Try this when an application appears too small or shows scrambled layout. This option should always fix such problems, although at the expense of some blurriness. System (Enhanced) — Enables DPI virtualization of the application’s display output, except for GDI text and line rendering which is re-rendered at the target resolution. If you’re lucky this option will produce correct layout with less blurriness than System. On 12/04/2018 at 10:46 AM, PiusX said: I think you got video driver issues that aren't related to utorrent.

The first start inherits the compatibility setting. Also setting it via the admin button means uT can't revoke them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ) Utorrent has to be started before it can revert its own compatibility settings, so that first run of uT after changing the setting will have the DPI compatibility setting enabled. The next start will have it disabled. B ) Sorry, my bad, i meant the "Change settings for all users" button, this opens the compatibility window with the PC\Administrators account and sets compatibility in the HKLM area instead of the HKCU area. Screenshot of Utorrent at 120% dpi on windows 10 with Application scaling set for all users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 This is me. Cannot live with constant UAC nags . Dialog seems a bit different tho(Win10 1709 B 16299.371 x86) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squall-Leonhart Posted April 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 17133 has enhanced the DPI compatibility panel I don't see the UAC nags myself, though you have got it in the old program files location where as mine is in %appdata% location.

rafi Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 I don't think that matters, but I will try to relocate the exe to %appdata%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
