VWS and 4k Resolution

<< < (3/3)

dret:
As a workaround - on WIN 10
I close VWS and change the display resolution to 1920 x 1080 with 125% scaling.
Then Start VWS, once stabilized
I change the resolution back to 4k 3840 x 2160 with 250% scaling.
VWS window needs to be adjusted but after that I can read it just fine.

Yes, I'm still running VWS and it has migrated through 3 computers over the years.
I have not found anything I like to replace it yet.

Regards,
DRET

(I realize this is an old thread)

Allen thanks for trying to get a great program back in the mainstream. I hope someday the author will let it go open source. I am still running it as well along with 5 other weather programs thanks to Virtual Vantage Pro (another excellent program inspite of what others think).

DRET thanks for your hack? patch? Glad to see another VWS user keeping it going. My VWS also provides graphics for an old Kodak wireless picture frame in slideshow mode.

dret:
Thanks for the idea.  I have one of those in a drawer around here somewhere.

Garth Bock:
Since I am not uploading the VWS jpegs to a web site I just point the Kodak to the folder on the weather computer. As VWS creates new and overwrites the old jpegs the Kodak refreshes its display. I also have other pics in the same folder to display as part of the slide show.

The following has worked for me on many old school applications. Sometimes the results look a little pixelated, especially fonts, but it is better than getting out my magnifying glass :grin:

1. Go to whatever folder containing the xxx.exe program.
2. Right click on 'xxx.exe'.
3. Left click on 'Properties'.
4. Left click the 'Compatibility tab'.
5. Left click on 'Change high DPI settings'.
6. Left click box for 'Overide high DPI scaling behavior'.
7. Scaling performed by: Click on drop down box just below and select 'System'.
8. Click ‘Apply’, then ‘OK’.
