Big annoyance with Screen Scaling

Post by 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.
