XYplorer Beta Club
This program has been in all other ways great and I was thinking I finally found a good File Explorer replacement (that I'd be happy to pay for)
However, I have a HiDPI laptop display with 1 or 2 regular DPI monitors attached and XYplorer can't handle it.
I found multiple other forums posts describing the problem ( including viewtopic.php?f=2&t=23820&p=193660&hilit=dpi#p193660 viewtopic.php?f=5&t=21264&p=194416&hilit=dpi#p194416 viewtopic.php?f=2&t=24084&p=195212&hilit=dpi#p195212 ). They all mention having having the OS take over scaling with Properites/Compatibility "System" or "System (Advanced)" which leads to blurred text in various ways and the icon bar at the top still being ridiculously large and blurry.
All apps seem very awkward as they are moved back and forth between displays, but once a window is on a display, they (MS Office apps, Teams, TurboVNC, Chrome, Firefox, Notepad++, Adobe Reader, draw.io, FileZilla, etc) are all able to adjust and provide a proper UI. XYplorer is the only one that I've seen fail at this. It's quite disappointing.

I know there is room for improvement. Just need to find the time for improvement.

Re: Does not handle multiple displays at different DPI
Okay, thanks for acknowledging you're aware that it's an issue to be addressed when you can.
Btw, while surfing on this topic, I ran into https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... on-windows -- it looks like Per-Monitor (V2) DPI Awareness is eventually the goal here.
