This is available in the latest beta version, here: https://www.displayfusion.com/download/beta

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/handling-hidpi-scaling/?ID=9ca98d2d-659e-46a5-8cbe-a6dff25315a0#5 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 18:56:47 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/handling-hidpi-scaling/?ID=9ca98d2d-659e-46a5-8cbe-a6dff25315a0#5 DisplayFusion The issue is that some applications (including explorer.exe!) don't always respond to the scaling change messages correctly, so the forced logout/login is mostly just to force close all running processes and restart them. Unfortunately it's not something we could force from our end really ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/handling-hidpi-scaling/?ID=9ca98d2d-659e-46a5-8cbe-a6dff25315a0#4 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 20:02:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/handling-hidpi-scaling/?ID=9ca98d2d-659e-46a5-8cbe-a6dff25315a0#4 DisplayFusion I think having the setting as part of profiles would be huge, and even an auto-logout (with option for on and off).

If you guys could look into WHY a logout is required, that be huge too... because even if you could re-trigger the shell load or something to workaround it, that would be a nice hack. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/handling-hidpi-scaling/?ID=9ca98d2d-659e-46a5-8cbe-a6dff25315a0#3 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 19:54:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/handling-hidpi-scaling/?ID=9ca98d2d-659e-46a5-8cbe-a6dff25315a0#3 DisplayFusion Unfortunately I don't think Microsoft will make it possible to change the scaling level without a logout/login any time soon

We're hoping to add scaling options to the DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration and Monitor Profiles in a future version, but they will still require a manual logout/login. We can force the logout to happen automatically, but there isn't any way that we could force it to login without user intervention.

Sorry! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/handling-hidpi-scaling/?ID=9ca98d2d-659e-46a5-8cbe-a6dff25315a0#2 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 14:19:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/handling-hidpi-scaling/?ID=9ca98d2d-659e-46a5-8cbe-a6dff25315a0#2 DisplayFusion Is there any way displayfusion will have monitor scaling setting in Monitor Config? That'd be great to include in monitor profiles. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/handling-hidpi-scaling/?ID=9ca98d2d-659e-46a5-8cbe-a6dff25315a0 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 00:26:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/handling-hidpi-scaling/?ID=9ca98d2d-659e-46a5-8cbe-a6dff25315a0 DisplayFusion Hi all,

I just bought a new Dell Precision 7710 and it's got a beautiful UHD screen. While this is amazing and all, I often dock it to 1080p and WUXGA monitors. When this happens, scaling gets weird, and also when I go back to laptop display.

Since some scaling only resets after a logout, is there anything to get around this or perhaps a way to make a DisplayFusion profile logout and login automatically?

Does anyone know if any of this is changing or scheduled to change with any of the upcoming Windows 10 Insider Builds? ]]>
