Big annoyance with Screen Scaling

[Adequat]

28.30.0600
Windows 11 (25H2)
Font Scaling (3 screens: Primary Monitor: 225% / Monitor for XYPlorer: 150% / 3rd monitor: 200%).

The XYPlorer UI is not usable. See pictures.
The only way to use XYplorer is to override the High DPI Settings and use "System", which results in a noticeably blurry UI.
I can live with that, but there is another, more important problem:
When XYplorer launches another process, that child process becomes DPI-unaware. Hence, a native HDPI application looks ugly when launched from XYplorer, which is a shame for a file manager.

Has there been any progress on fixing this? I recently went on a bit of a deep dive and found a Notepad++ bug tracker about the same issue.

Their discussion (and fixes) are here, if that helps:

It's fixed in the current version.

Fixed in 28.30.2500? Or in the current beta?

I'm seeing exactly the same as above posts on 28.30.2500.

Okay, I see. Currently XY's interface is being completely rewritten. This will take care of any screen scaling issues.
