The majority of Templot users can ignore this.  As mentioned previously I shall soon be uploading a new program update, which for some users will have a significant change to the screen scaling method. Templot will become what Microsoft calls "dpi-aware". This means that on modern high-definition screens, Templot will now do its own screen scaling to make the text and controls large enough to be seen comfortably. In all previous versions up until now, like most other software Templot has relied on Windows to zoom everything larger on high-definition screens. This is called "dpi-virtualization". It works quite well for text and controls, but makes a pig's ear of line graphics such as Templot's trackpad drawings. Which is why I am making this change. If you have been using one of these dpi-virtualized screens (i.e. more than 96 dpi in Windows Vista, or more than 120 dpi in Windows 7, 8, 8.1) you should see a marked improvement in the next Templot program update. And also a somewhat faster screen response. But if you don't like it, I have included an option to return to dpi-virtualization if you wish. To do that: 1. click this new menu item on the program panel: 2_242038_380000000.png  2. which will display this: 2_242038_380000001.png  3. choosing the yes option will close Templot and display this: 2_242038_380000002.png  In the next program update soon. regards, Martin. |

Nearly a month on from 211b and over 1000 downloads, and so far not a single comment.  Which surprises me because I was expecting the new dpi-aware display on hi-res screens to be very much a Marmite feature, with some liking it a lot and others disliking it. That's why I provided an option to revert to dpi-virtualization for those who preferred it. I can only assume that no news is good news, and everyone is happy with 211b. Good. Happy New Year to all, Martin. |

Hello Martin, I am not sure what there is not to like about it - it looks very nice to me, so for me at least, no news is indeed good news! And many thanks for what is a considerable improvement. Happy New Year! |
