Changing the HISE IDE font size

[Morphoice]

@Christoph-Hart thanks I'll give it a try.
@d-healey fit the screenshot to the height of your screen, it's painfully small. in the browser its magnified somehow

[Morphoice]

@Christoph-Hart didn't go well ;))) this is what I get

Since you're on macOS, can I suggest SwitchResX? This can solve similar issues with other apps, too.

subtle glitches

Sometimes my ability to look into the future surprises even myself :)

Looks like the retina scaling messes up the global scale factor on macOS.

[Morphoice]

@Christoph-Hart well it's subtle, I give you that ;-)))))

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart Works very nicely on Linux. I'm not even using a 4k monitor and I think I prefer it scaled up - maybe I need glasses.

Only glitchy thing I'm noticing is it doesn't appear to remember or recall the last window size when I open HISE. So it's opening as this teeny window in the centre of the screen which I have to expand to make useful.

@d-healey Have you put the line before the setContentOwned() call? If I put it after, then it also throws assertions and looks like that.

But I just checked on my Macbook with Retina display, it works OK here too.

No I put it after, I just tried putting it before and it solves the problem. Seems to work perfectly now. I definitely think this should be a setting :)

[Morphoice]

@Christoph-Hart both doesn't work for me, still get a huge black box, funny though the elements on react to the hover on the black box's coordinates rather than the displayed small hise interface

[d.healey]

@Morphoice Why is yours called HISE - UNSTABLE?

[Morphoice]

@d-healey Unstable is the name of the project :-) it's an analog sounding "unstable" synth

[d.healey]

@Morphoice Oh ok, I thought you might be on some custom branch

[Morphoice]

@d-healey I wish. I started plugin development not a week ago and still have to much to learn. like adding my own filters and dsps... btw from zero to where I am mostly all thanks to your youtube videos, though much still is above my head.

[d.healey]

@Morphoice When you were testing the UI scaling, did you use a debug or a release build?

[Christoph Hart]

@d-healey might also have something todo with OpenGL being enabled or not. The fact that the hover positions are correct but the graphics are rendered incorrectly might hint at that.

[Morphoice]

@Christoph-Hart I can confirm disabling OpenGL did the trick, I now have a 150% bigger hise interface which is super pleasant to work with. Thanks so much!

[Christoph Hart]

@Morphoice alright good to know. I‘ll check on Windows but OpenGL on macOS does not bring a considerable performance boost so you don‘t miss too much by disabling it.

[Christoph Hart]

Alright, it's now pushed as proper setting. It even supports on-the-fly changes. That was smoother than expected :)

[Morphoice]

@Christoph-Hart yay
