Hi,

I read in the Release Notes (16.2.1) that a DPI awareness switch for CommandBars was added. I use v16.2.4, but I have not found a note in the documentation about it. Can anyone tell me how to switch to DPI awareness?

There is an option to turn on or off the dpi aware scaling of the icons:

CommandBars.Options.SetDPIScallingOptions

(yes it actually has two L's in it...)

However, I have not found any way to have the actual toolbars, tools etc to become DPI aware and resize according to OS settings...

[Edit] Without the dpiaware option in the manifest they do resize, but in the default "Microsoft way". With the dpiaware option in the manifest they do not resize at all.

There should be a controlled and easy way to resize them in this case including replacing icons with other sizes when needed to avoid that fuzzy or broken look .

How are we supposed to do this CodeJock?
