Run Length Calculator Doesn't Display Properly in Standalone

Post by jovivier »

If the Tools|Run Length Calculator dialog looks too small or the text looks too large then the cause could be the screen resolution. This will need to be adjusted manually via the Registry.

Therefore, the steps are:
1. With IRRICAD closed go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AEI Software\Irricad\AppSettings.
2. In the right-hand pane right-click and select New to add a new “string value”. Set the name to be DPIScale. Then double-click on this new string value and set the “value data” to 1.25

3. Close the registry and run IRRICAD.
4. Go to Tools|Run Length Calculator - does the dialog look correct? If not go through the steps again and adjust the DPIScale up or down as required. (On one computer the screen resolution was 1.25 and the correction needed to be set to 1.65. On another computer the text size was 100% and the suitable adjustment was 0.70).

Note that this setting will also affect:-
- Layer Bar
- Settings|Labels dialog
- Settings|Layers dialog
However, the affect on these dialogs will simply be to make them slightly larger, though the effect could be different depending on the font.

If you notice any detrimental effects please let us know.
Most dialogs will ignore the registry setting as they are DPI aware, there are just a few that are not and will be affected.
