Support for high-DPI displays (dbForge Studios)
dbForge Studio doesn't work well on my Surface Pro, which has a little over 200 dpi, and ships with a default setting of 150% magnification. At that magnification setting, many (but not all) of the labels/menus/titles in dbForge no longer fit in their container UI elements, and the resulting UI isn't very easy to use.
I would like future versions of dbForge Studio user interface to scale well at the different magnification levels. While most Windows machines today don't have this issue (due to ~100dpi displays), it appears that going forward high DPI displays (> 200dpi) will be the norm.

same problem with a 28' 4K display.
changing the font solve partially the problem (especially some windows like properties doesn't handle font settings)If you have mixed screen (1080p + 4K), it doesn't work, you have to set the font everytime

Dell XPS 15" with 4k display... same deal. Have upvoted.
Got reply from Devart support "We are planning to handle this issue in the next product version." -

This is still a problem on a windows 10 pc. I'm using a 4k display and everything is too small and overlapping. This makes it impossible to change options etc.

Any updates on when this will be supported?
Extremely important, as it is clear that more and more ultra-high resolution displays hit the market every day, and since the implications are close to zero usability.

Not usable on my new beautiful Dell XPS 15 4K screen, yes please resolve this.

Danar commented
Please support high resolution screen because most of the new QHD+ & 4K screens don't work well because of scaling issue

Customize the UI font size, is to small and this is a disadvantage for people with visual deficiency

Dmitry commented
Allow user to adjust the font size of the program interface — toolbars, panels and so on.

Dell xps 15 разрешение 4к, скалинг 250% - включил, увидел, выключил. Вернусь, когда будет поддержка разрешения. По моему уже пора бы?!

For temporary fix the problem: First set Windows to prefer external manifest files over internal ones (which was default until some Versions ago) by adding the key
-> DWORD PreferExternalManifest=1 <- in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySideRename in dbforgesql.exe.manifest
the file found C:\Program Files\Devart\dbForge Studio for SQL Server\app.manifestFinally replace the code inside with this xml:

Of course, depending on the display and desired size things might get a bit blurry, it is a question of personal preferences (sharpness vs. layout).

Please improve support for very high resolution displays (4k), many windows/dialogs/tabs do not respect display scaling.

Please add support for high resolutions displays. I am currently trying to use it on a MacBook Pro and it does not look good.
