    Visual Studio & 4K

    This is not specifically a VB.Net question, more of a VS question. Does anyone here use a 4K monitor for programming? Yesterday I replaced my old monitor with a new 4K monitor. It looks & works beautifully with everything but Visual Studio. By default Windows 11 has set the scaling to 150%. In VS this messes with the forms designer & I can't create forms to the size that I want. VS suggests setting the scaling for VS to 100%. It even provides a link to do so. This fixes the forms sizing issue but then the code text is less sharp, almost fuzzy looking. I am not happy with either situation. Just wondering if anyone has figured out how to not have the scaling issue with forms & still have sharp text.

    This is a quote from a Microsoft support page:

    When you open a form in Windows Forms Designer on an HDPI monitor, Visual Studio displays an info bar that displays the monitor's current scaling percentage (for example, 150%/144 DPI), an option to restart Visual Studio at 100% scaling to match Windows Forms Designer, and further information. Restarting at 100% scaling makes VS DPI-unaware, allowing for proper rendering without overlap.

    and also...

    When Visual Studio runs as DPI-unaware, the designer layout issues are resolved, however fonts might appear blurry and issues can appear in other designers such as the XAML Designer. Visual Studio displays a different informational message when DPI-unaware that says "Visual Studio is running as a DPI-unaware process. WPF and XAML designers might not display correctly."

    Thanks for any help...
