Hello

I'm planning to make support of additional big glyphs in the next Beta version (v11).

I hope, this version will be ready soon and AlphaSkins will have a better look and feel with “big fonts” mode.

Thats VERY cool thanks!

This is exactly what we want to achive – making our

application high dpi aware. This also means that

there is some manual coding to do like scaling

of the image lists and such. (if you look close the

unskinned image in the radiobutton is larger than the

skinned one)

By the way his problems are not gone! The Form.scaled

and the high dpi aware stuff indeed does scale all

the fonts and labels such that their size is the same

on low and high dpi systems but due to the skinning

the size of the caption bar and e.g. the size of the

radio button is not scaled (though it's font is scaled).

So for it looks the issue is more or less the non scaling

of the base bitmaps that are used for scaling. I think the

issue could be solved if I could create a second (and third) skin

based on the original (96dpi) but I don't know how to easily do that.

Or the components scale the bitmap according to the setting.

Note my laptop has 192dpi and is scaled to 200% – the effects

are quite large here (very small caption bar and very small

chekboxes/radio button images)[attachment=7572:checkbox_radio.png]
