You don’t have to go as far as to roll your own UI. Someone just needs to teach
thmutil(the UI technologywixstdba.dlluses) high-DPI. That can be done by volunteer effort or approaching @firegiantco to contract the work.Just because it hasn’t been our priority (aka: not @firegiantco’s customers’ priority) doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be done. 😄
If you override the DPI scaling mode for the installer in explorer’s properties, the installer scales up just fine:
I’m not sure if you can opt into this mode with a manifest like you can with the older DPI awareness modes, but it would be ideal. I tried setting it to fully DPI aware (like what you get with a .manifest) but it doesn’t scale to system DPI, for some reason the font sizes are all in pixels.
