Vncviewer 1.2.0.5 honours local DPI?!

Post by lokapal »

Hello!

I see the strange behaviour of vncviewer 1.2.0.5 x64. Local screen has resolution 1920x1080, Win7 x64, font size set to Large (it's notebook with 13.3" screen). It's 150% in the terms of Win7 font scale.
I'm trying to connect to remove Win7 x32 uvnc server. Remote resolution is 1920x1080. I see the local picture 150% bigger than it should be (more than full screen) although resolution is the same. When I use directX connection I see the full screen, but garbled as it is in the case of downscaling from bigger resolutions.
Why should vcnviewer honours local font DPI settings???!!!

looks like the viewer is not dpi aware.
High dpi play internal a bigger resolution then the actual pixels, this cause this strange effect.

Cause
High dpi actual tell that the screensize is 2880x1620, the viewer then create a viewer but, you can't see the part thats offscreen.
Using directx is scaled to 1920x1080...
Solultion
Add code to tell viewer is dpi aware so the OS pass the proper screen size to the viewer.

Added to the to check list
