Chernabogue Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Yesterday, my PC installed the Windows 8.1 update, and since then my FL Studio resolution changed. Everything looks bigger than before (the Kontakt window is almost as big as my screen...). I tried to change my computer's resolution, but nothing changed on FL Studio. It's not very problematic, since I can still do some music, but it looks really awful and not very "ergonomic". Is there a way to change FL Studio's own resolution? (PC is running with Win 8.1 now, FL Studio version is 10.) Thanks in advance. Quote

FL Studio might be working fine, but if your video driver is passing it some incorrect settings (eg. resolution) then maybe that might be causing it to look weird. Alternatively, maybe try reinstalling FL Studio, or installing 11 and see if that fixes it? Quote

I'll try that when I have the time and will to reinstall stuff. Thanks for the answer. Quote
Chernabogue Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 Well, video driver seems to work normally. I tried to install FL Studio 11 (demo) but it was the same. Any idea? Quote
Yami Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Go to the gear symbol of the Fruity Wrapper (the one where you can set options of VSTs) and try to enable DPI aware, this might help Quote

Can't find that option. (I should retry after sleeping too, haha, that may help ) Quote
Yami Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 It's directly in the first tab "Settings", the last point under "Visual" At least it's there in my settings tab Quote
Chernabogue Posted December 16, 2014 Author Posted December 16, 2014 It's directly in the first tab "Settings", the last point under "Visual"At least it's there in my settings tab My last point is "Don't allow keyboard focus". I also have "Invalidate plugin editor" and "Check properties on display change". Quote
Yami Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 My last point is "Don't allow keyboard focus". I also have "Invalidate plugin editor" and "Check properties on display change". Ok, that's strange. You said you tried the demo, which should be the latest version. I have 11 something 64bit and there it is. Look Quote

I have 11 something 64bit and there it is.Look Oh I tried on 10 instead, silly me. It's indeed here in 11, but doesn't change anything. Well, I'll try to adapt to that resolution. Thanks for the help. Quote

Thanks for the help. I have a couple other recommendations I just thought of that might help: 1) If you haven't, you might consider resetting your FL Studio settings: http://www.image-line.com/support/FLHelp/html/app_reset.htm 2) You might also see if anything shows up on the FL forums. I found this thread which seems relevant. Quote
Palpable Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 I've had a problem on 8.1 with some other programs not handling resolution correctly, which I solved like this: Right click on the program that has the problem, go to compability and down there is a option saying Disable display scaling on high DPI settings. Check it, apply, ok, reopen the program. This doesn't quite sound like your problem but easy to try. Quote
Chernabogue Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 Palpable's solution worked perfectly. Going to try on other programs that have some problems as well. Thanks to everyone, you really were helpful! Quote
