The program is scaled automatically to adapt to the screen dpi. The text must be clear at all resolution, only the button icon can appear of lower resolution. Can you give more information about the dpi in use? or the screen width and height both in inch and in pixel. If you can upload a screenshot it also help me to understand the problem. |
|
|
185 dpi. 3840 x 2560 |
|
|
on os-x the program shouldn't do any scaling, as that is handled by the operating system. |

I move the issue to Skychart, I was first looking for an issue in CCDciel. With Skychart even the button icon must be scaled correctly. Look in the file ~/Library/Application Support/skychart/cdc_trace.txt for a line with "Screen scale :", what is the number here? |
|
|
And with Skychart you can disable internal screen scaling if you want to try. This is in menu Setup / General at the General tab. |

|
Screen scale : 100% Screen scaling : True disabling internal screen scaling has no effect. |

Thank you. The "Screen scale : 100%" indicate that the operating system is hiding the real dpi to the application and scale by itself. In this case the blur is probably because it scale the application by two at the bitmap level. I add a key to the application info.plist to inform the system that the application can scale by itself so it not do that. Can you install the test version 4.3-4595 from https://vega.ap-i.net/tmp/skychart/ Tell me about this "Screen scale" value in the log after the change and if this modify the display. |

hi test version now has non blurry text. so problem fixed. screen scale: 100% screen scaling: false however, icons are a bit pixellated (not blurry), but I guess this is because they are not .svg or are not high res enough to scale on 4k displays. |
|
|
Good, thank you to help with that! Button size can be changed independently of the screen resolution. They have svg source but are pre-converted to bitmap of fixed size. You can change the size from the menu Setup / Toolbar editor. At the bottom a drop-down list allow to change the button size. |
