I’m using Delphi on a high DPI monitor. After installing the RemObjects SDK the Delphi IDE window becomes unusable due to scaling issues.
When I launch Delphi, the main window comes up normally (full screen, text sized normally). Then after a split second the main window is resized to 1/4 of the screen (however still in maximized state) and all text becomes very small. After that the IDE becomes unusable. Uninstalling RemObjects fixes this problem.
Nope doesn’t help. The IDE does maximize to full screen but all text is still too small to read.
My current resolution is to install RemObjects without IDE integration (deselect the checkbox during install), then hide RemObjects.Everwood.RadStudio.XE6.dll by renaming it (somehow RO still adds this dll to the Delphi IDE) and manually add the RemObjects paths to the IDE library path.
This enables me to compile and develop my application however without visual design support (can’t open any modules using any of the RO components).
1: Dissabling all packages ==> problem remains
(packages are actually reselected when I reopen Delphi)
2: Removing all packages ==> problem remains
2: Renaming RemObjects.Everwood.RadStudio.XE6.dll ==> problem fixed
Did not try to re-enable any packages since I have removed them all
I have the same problem using RODA9 (even current betas) and Delphi 10.1 Berlin: IDE “shrinks” to a quarter of the screen, fonts are small and the IDE is almost unusable.
After removing the RemObjects.Everwood.RadStudio.XE10.dll everything works fine again.
Definitely can confirm that deleting Everwood library from “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\18.0\Known IDE Assemblies” solves the problem. This issue is still present even in the newest version(s) of RAD Studio/Delphi.
I’ve the same resolution here and neither 150% (ugly) nor 200% (not enough space on screen) is usable. However, I perfectly like the 200% scaling for all the other programs.
After that “patch” you can safely update and reinstall RODA without further issues.
Hi, I see, but I’m using 10.1 Berlin (Update 1), where IDE is fine.
If I need nicely scaled IDE, I must only set “Disable Display Scaling On High DPI Settings” on the compatibility tab of BDS.EXE (I’m on 4K with 150% desktop scale).
So, there were IDE scaling issues fixed in Berlin.
