Interface is miniscule on 4k monitor

skwerlman opened this issue 9 years ago · 8 comments

the interface is the exact same size in pixels as it would be on a same-sized 1080p monitor, meaning it appears at 1/4 it's intended size, which makes it VERY hard to use.

I can absolutely relate and agree. The launcher does not scale as necessary for hiDPI displays.

To be frank , Java Swing sucks at doing so

Wtf? I restarted the launcher today and now it looks great lol. If someone fixed this and the client auto-updated, thank you very much to the fixer!

There have been literally no changes, so that's interesting lol

This is really just a problem with Java 8, which is all sorts of broken when it comes to hiDPI. The only real "solution" appears to be this workaround: https://www.netphantom.com/info/Java-DPI-aware/index.html

Closing this as it seems to no longer be an issue (at least with a decently recent JRE, even if it's Java 8).
