Lazarus IDE display problem on 3200 x 1800
« on: October 25, 2014, 04:11:00 pm »
I have installed Lazarus 1.2.6 on my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro with a 3200 x 1800 res on Windows 8.1. The IDE displays very small icons and all the lines on the object inspector are cramped into each other. Is there a way to rectify this?

perhaps check Project | Project Options and setting for 'Use Manifest file...'
see http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/IDE_Window:__Project_Options#Application

Good suggestion but no, that would apply only to programs you make with Lazarus, not to the Lazarus IDE itself...

I guess Lazarus is not yet ready for retina displays.
Lazarus 2.3.0 (rev main-2_3-2863...) FPC 3.3.1 x86_64-linux-qt Chakra, Qt 4.8.7/5.13.2, Plasma 5.17.3
Lazarus 1.8.2 r57369 FPC 3.0.4 i386-win32-win32/win64 Wine 3.21

Thanks for the pointers.... problem solved. My windows scaling was set to 250%. I have reset it to 100% and lowered the screen resolution to 1920 x 1080 which brought my Lazarus IDE back to normal.
