High DPI support in Oscar?

[gsilver]

I have a 13" Surface Book, and with the small-ish 3000:2000 screen, I tend to have fonts scale to 200%. Needless to say, Oscar doesn't like these settings very much, and things can be difficult to read. In the overview page, text is small enough to be difficult to read, and in the daily view, the category titles are illegible due to the font being too large, graphs are a bit too zoomed-out, the times collide with the dividing lines. 

It looks fine on my work macbook, but I'd prefer to not use that machine for this.

Though I originally had Sleepyhead installed on this machine, and Oscar at least is a huge improvement over that!

I found this on the internet.  I hope this is what you are describing. . .

Scaled resolution
For Macs with Retina displays, you can't lower the native resolution to a specific resolution in order to increase the size of text and icons like you can on other laptops and displays. That's never a great idea anyway because you lose sharpness in the bargain for larger, more legible letters. Retina displays offer what Apple calls "scaled resolutions" to bump up size of text and icons. Open System Preferences and go to Displays. On the Display tab, you'll see two options at the top of the window for Resolution: Default for display and Scaled. Choose Scaled and, depending on the size of your Retina display, you'll have four or five options. Choose one of the two options on the Larger Text side to make it easier to read what's on your display.

Oh. I meant to clarify, it looks fine in the macbook, but the fonts are messed up as seen in the pictures in my Windows laptop.

Exactly where in Windows did you scale the fonts?  Let me know and I'll try those settings on my machine and see if I can reproduce the behavior.  If I can reproduce it, I should be able to fix it!

And to be clear, when you say "overview" page, are you referring to the Statistics page, which is what you showed?  What about the actual Overview page?

It's in the display settings

For the graph labels, go to File/Preferences and the Appearance tab.  Adjust the point size of the two graph fonts until the graph labelling is legible to you.

If you adjust the application font point size, the Statistics page may look better and the menu bar may be less hidden, though I am uncertain about the menu bar.  That may be a problem we have to address.  Let us know whether you can adjust the fonts to make OSCAR look good to you.

We do know that the adjusting the application point size does not affect every graphical element.  That's on our list of issues.

By increasing the application font size to 20 and reducing the graph titles font to 10, the graphs and statistics tab are legible.
The file menu and preferences screen now have comically large fonts, but I shouldn't need to use those much. This is at least good enough for me to primarily use Oscar on my personal computer instead of my work laptop.

Thanks.

Out of curiosity, have you tried this solution for high resolution monitors? http://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php...n_Monitors

For Windows machines, OSCAR.exe is located in C:\Program Files x86\Oscar, and the compatibility tab is available by right-clicking the exe file. So everything should work the same way.
