4K screens and high DPI
Disabled
I use a 4k monitor. The GUI looks great in the new version. 11.5.2.0
Before the latest RDM update my virtual machines screen size would automatically resize text and items on all my remote machines.
Now all my desktops have small text and items. I dont want to manually resize every desktop because I use RDM on other computers as well.
I want RDM to scale my remote desktops.

Hi,
Could you post a print screen of what you get. Just to be sure you have enabled the HDPI in RDM?

This is weird. Now it seems to work...
Where is the HDPI settting. Cant find it in options.
Hello,
The option is Disable display scaling on high DPI settings and this setting is located in File -> Options -> User Interface.
Best regards,

When checked, the RDM GUI is crisp and clear. But then all remote desktops are small.
Unchecked, the RDM GUI is blurry. Remote desktops are big and easy to work with.
See attachment.
Its seems after update the setting was unchecked but still behaved like it was checked.
I have to exit the program for the setting to work.
Is it possible to have the HDPI setting checked but still the remote desktop resize?
Hi,
I will verify what we can do to scale the remote desktops

Hi,
Are there already solutions or workarounds for this?
The UI is in most cases quiet good with high DPI enabled (some logo's & context menu's aren't yet scaled :-) )
But due to all RDP sessions being scaled at 100% and not the 150% that I've configured on my Surface Pro 4 I've always disabled high DPI and went back to the blurry interface.
Would love to have a workaround implemented for this.

This is something that will be fixed in RDM 12 and perhaps before in a patch.
Sorry for the delay

I'm working with 4k resolution screens, and also waiting for a fix. :wave:
Bump.
Working on it right now :)

Hi,
I've made a beta build with the automatic HDPI scaling for the RDP connection:

Beta installed and tested with unchecked "display scaling on high DPI settings". RDM GUI is crisp clear, but RDP sessions still too small (the RDP resolution in embedded mode is near 4k).
Hi,
You need to connect to a Windows 10 or Windows 2012 R2. For older OS it's not supported in the RDP protocol. What OS do you connect?
Regards
David Hervieux
RDM runs on Windows 10, RDP target is Windows Server 2012 R2.
Could you verify the tooltip on the tab page to make sure that it use RDP 8.1?
David Hervieux
Yup, there is RDP (8.1)
What scaling percentage do you use? I've found a issue if you use more than 200%
Regards
David Hervieux
On my local Windows 10 machine i use 250%.
This explains why. I'm compiling a patch you could try soon.

Remote session to Windows 10 and Server 2012 work and look good. (scaling 150%)
Are you planning on adding Win7 and Server2008?
Unfortunately I don't have a solution for older system.

Microsoft doesn't have a good high DPI solution for software.
Apple is doing a better job. All their software scales without problems. They use a different approach to the problem.
But most of my Remote Desktops are Win 10 and Server 2012 anyways so this will do fine.
