Hi,
Some more info on high dpi from the author of this blog
http://kynosarges.org/GuiDpiScaling.htmlhere is the contents of an email he sent me:
I'm assuming that you're talking about this ImageJ?
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/I've never used it but sure, that's an old Swing UI that normally
wouldn't scale at all.
Scaling in Chrome unfortunately does not mean that an easy solution
exists. Rather, it seems the Chrome browser shares the display scaling
capabilities of ChromeOS which Google added to make high-resolution
Chromebooks work. That would mean Chrome itself performs display
scaling, rather than leaving the job to Windows.
Java apps always declare themselves DPI-aware even if they're not, and
that disables all Windows DPI scaling. Annoyingly there's no user
workaround for that. The developers need to fix the app, by adding
explicit scaling to all coordinates. Meanwhile, all I can recommend is
that you continue to run the applet in Chrome. Sorry!
