New laptop screens are getting higher res quickly! I can hardly read the Designer menus on my Surface Book. (3000x2000)
We really need intelligent scaling with designer and our new laptops.

There is a issue with the Windows scaling. I have it set for 150% on my 4K monitor and it makes the indicator/mouse totally misplaced. Hard to code when you don't got a clue where you are.

Would it be possible to add a "Web Launch Setting" similar to the Disable Direct 3D? This could place the following in JNLP files:
<property name="sun.java2d.dpiaware" value="false"/>
Manually making this entry appears to work for high dpi monitors with Win10 and Java 8.
We have 100s of Ignition users that use a standard corporate IT PC image. This does not allow tweaking of Java resources or downgrading to Java 7. Creating customized JNPL files is problematic with a footprint of 50+ gateways.

Over a year later and still no solution?

We had case with Alex in IA and we got same issue. Our solution was:
1.Make sure you run the ResourceTuner as Administrator!
- We downgraded to Java 7.
- We modified the key for DPIAware to false in the Java.exe only!.
- We are running a remote client using the Client Lunch option.
The font is normal size as before.

Carl,
Does your solution from late last year still work? I modified the dpiAware manifest settings in both files, but it doesn't seem to have any effect on designer scaling.
Thanks,
Tom

If you're willing to get your hands dirty, you can modify a Java 8 installation to work correctly on high-dpi displays.
Use a program that can modify EXE manifests like http://www.restuner.com/.
Open your JRE's copies of java.exe and javaw.exe, and modify their manifest's setting for <dpiAware>true</dpiAware> to
<dpiAware>false</dpiAware>
And then launch through the native client launcher.
