High DPI Support about gdx-texture-packer-gui HOT 10 CLOSED

Good call, UI scaling is something the app is really missing. One thing though, due to implemention, it's fairly easy to just scale up all graphics, but not really support textures for another resolution, but the approach should be just fine for now. Also, I'm not sure that system UI scaling value is available to Java process that easy, so the setting should be changed only manually.

I'm not sure about LWJGL2 backend, but version 3 seems to provide access to the system scaling value.

If not... a button to toggle hdpi mode would do the job as well :)
Nice app btw, i'm loving it, thanks for the work!

Thanks, will look if I can access system scaling somehow to apply UI scaling automatically.

@Hangman so I've added interface scaling configuration dialog to Tools menu, so you will be able to adjust interface size to your needs now.

The only problem, that as from what I've read, native scaling is always on for Windows 10, means we cannot control it yet from the code side (or I just cannot reproduce it under Java8 JRE, So I'm always getting my app window natively prescaled on an HDPI monitor). Anyway there are a lot of topics around the issue on the net and probably after few things get fixed in GLHF (which is LWJGL based on), I will revisit forced Win10 system scaling topic once again.

!!! Thank you so much, this change helps a lot.

BTW, what is OS you're on?

I'm on Win10 with 200% scaling.

I have 125% scaling set for one of my monitors and still cannot make the window to ignore system scaling. So you're saying that texture packer window appears to be tiny and pixel perfect on your side? What's JRE you're running?

This is how it looks like on my screen. My JRE is of version 9.0.4. I've done a reboot after the resolution/scaling change... Windows says some apps won't recognize the change. So no problem with that.

1920*1080 on 100% scaling

3840*2160 on 200% scaling

Oh, it's a bit different case, the bug in GLHF that I've mentioned. It was about that GLHF can't recognize system scaling values properly and as a result sets wrong viewport configuration. Unfortunately, this will only get fixed in LibGDX 1.9.9, and in order to apply the fix, we have to wait for the official release, I hope this will happen some time soon.

Anyway, I believe interface scaling at least will let you upscale UI a little to have readable content for now.
