Sounds like a productive weekend! I'd love to give it a spin.
Forgive me but I looked at the Github project but can't figure out the organization. There's a couple of EXE files but they're not the current one. How do I get the current EXE or how do I load this project into twinBasic as there's no twin basic project file?
That was one item I worked on earlier, reorganized the repo, the old tHelper is in a sub folder and the latest version is in the root and sub folders. The latest EXE is in the Build folder.
Where is the Beta 2 EXE?
The EXEs in the Build folders are for the old version and for beta 1. Please provide a path and name to the correct EXE. I've downloaded the latest source.
The EXE (tBHelper_win32.exe) that was there is the current beta. I deleted the beta 1 file and renamed the other file to include beta2. Sorry for the confusion.
Thanks - the renamed EXE made things easier.
The new build's main window looks good at 250 DPI. I'll need a new version of tB to be released before I can confirm the Change Log portion of the window but everything else is scaling properly.
Other issues:
View Log History window has several areas that need DPI scaling applied
The down arrow on all dropdown controls (on all secondary windows) needs DPI scaling
Custom message boxes need DPI scaling for icons and text
It's getting there. It seems to be MUCH better - good job. I look forward to a new tB build so I can confirm that all's good with the main window.
Awesome, gotchya, thanks again for help testing.
The main window is the one I use 99.9% of the time so I'm not personally impacted by the issues on the secondary windows.
The message box issue is kind of a big one since the message text is almost unreadably small on my 250 DPI system.
Yeah, I worked on the message box yesterday. Just uploaded the files to github https://github.com/jdelano0310/tbHelper
It's coming along great! Activity Log window looks much better now, message boxes are looking much better too.
Only items I see now are:
1. Dropdown control arrows images are too small at 250 DPI
2. Main window Change Log column headers - some space is needed between the first two column headers

Good deal, thank you.
I'll dive into those
EDIT: check out the new EXE for beta 2 that has been updated to display the dropdown button / arrow in a DPI aware fashion.
I have been remiss in updating this thread, though there may only be me and one other person using this. Release Candidate 2 is available that embeds the images in the EXE removing the need for physical files in with the EXE.

There are a couple more tweaks to come
EDIT: just a quick video of using it to update to the latest twinBASIC available. https://imgur.com/a/H7t2I6n
